Glad to hear that updating your graphics driver fixed the
problem. When the graphics looks wrong on just one computer, it
is almost always a graphics driver problem, not a Chimera bug.<br>

<p>Dear Tom,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>thank you very much for your help! I have the 1.6.1
production release on my computer. I've updated the graphics
driver and silhouettes seem to work fine now. Thanks again.</p>

Those little ellipses scattered all over are the
end-caps of the ribbon helices being drawn in the wrong
place. That is a bug. You should use Help / Report a
Bug to send us a report that will include your graphics
driver version and operating system. I could imagine
this bug happening in Chimera daily builds because I
have changed the ribbon drawing code. But it is
surprising to see it in the Chimera 1.6 production
release. If it is in a daily build try the latest daily
build. If it is in Chimera 1.6 it is most likely a
graphics driver bug. You can try to update your
graphics driver or use a different computer to make this
image.<br>

<pre>Hi Tom,
you're right. Sorry I haven't thought of that myself.
Here's an image.

Sending an example image might help debug this.

<pre>Dear Chimera users,
I am trying to create an image for a publication using Chimera 1.6.1.
Whenever I turn on "silhouette" dark spots appear on the screen and on the saved image. They seem totally random but they move along with the structure when rotated. When I zoom on them they look like small "umbrella-shaped" discs. The "show shadows" option is turned off.
Does anybody know what are those spots and how to get rid of them?
Thank you very much for any help.
Regards,
Alja Oblak
