Hi Elaine,<br><br>just worked fine. I guess I used an too old built version for which intersurf surface weren't behaving as standard surface.<br><br>thank you very much.<br>jd<br><br clear="all"><div>****************************</div>

Hi JD,<br>
You can use the menu: Actions... Surface... transparency...[%value]<br>
<br>
or the "surftransparency" command, where the intersurf surface can be specified by model number (#N) or by selecting it with Ctrl-click and using the word "sel":<br>

<br>
Also, in Chimera version 1.7 (fairly recent daily build), there is a "transparency" command that can be used on not just surfaces but other items (atoms, ribbons, etc.):<br>

<br>
I hope this helps,<br>
Elaine<br>
