[Chimera-users] displaying two surfaces

[Marcus Carr]

I am trying to create a figure that encloses three residues in a protein in
one surface and the rest of the protein in another.  I put the three
residues into one group using surfcat and the rest of the protein in
another.
When I try adjust the surface transparency, the three-residue surface all
but disappears.  If I set transparency to 0%, I appears normal.  If I
increase it even to just 1%, it almost completely disappears.  It looks like
wherever this three-residue surface is inside the protein surface, it only
shows if the transparency of three-residue is set to 0%.  All this is with
the protein surface set to 50%.  I'm not sure whether this list accepts
attachments, but I put in screen shots of what it looks like.
