[Chimera-users] Defining Attribute Color for Surface Independent of Atoms

[David Piper]

Chimera Folks,

   I have set up a file to define a series of colors based 
on functional measurements for some residues in a PDB 
file.
   I would like to color the ball and stick atoms 
according to element type and a semi-transparent surface 
according to the colors defined by my text file.
   It seems like these two things are tied together; that 
the surface can either be colored by the model, the atoms, 
or a specific color.
   Can I color it according to a Defined Attribute but 
leave the atoms as CPK coloring?

   Thanks,

   David
