<div dir="ltr">Hi Elaine, <div><br></div><div>The thin silhouettes at the edges in my image are intentional, it is the thicker silhouettes where the model curves that are bothering me. They seem to intensify as the clipping changes, or when I rotate the model. In other figures I am preparing, the silhouettes are even more intense especially in cartoon helix tube mode and around the the curved parts of the tube (see image attached). They just appeared at one point in my session and I can't make them go away. They were definitely not there before even when silhouettes were turned on.</div><div><br></div><div>Yazan</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Jul 10, 2019 at 8:30 PM Elaine Meng <<a href="mailto:meng@cgl.ucsf.edu" target="_blank">meng@cgl.ucsf.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Hi Yazan,<br>
Those are “silhouettes” and you can toggle them on and off with the icon that looks like a seahorse outline in the Graphics tab of the Toolbar, or with the “set” command.<br>

The thickness and color of the lines are also adjustable with the “set” command.<br>
