[Chimera-users] Surface Transparency Command Issues

[Joshua Carter]

Hello,
I'm having trouble getting the surface transparency command to work correctly.  I'm currently making a movie about the formation of a protein complex and I want the subunits to be shown as ribbons while they dock and then after they dock the electrostatic surface to appear.  I have the script written and the surface generated but when I use either the surftransp or transparency command nothing happens.  The command is correct, if I use it to change the transparency of a ribbon or atom it does so, but if I try to make the surface appear after docking nothing changes.  In addition, if I go to the Actions menu and change the surface transparency from there it also works.
If you could help me figure out why the command won't work that would be extremely helpful.
Thanks,Josh
