This is because ChimeraX silhouette edges are drawn where the depth of the scene makes a jump. The depth at a pixel is the depth of the front-most object, so the transparent surface causes ChimeraX not to see the depth of the molecule, hence no silhouette edge on the molecule.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""> I just added some code that separately draws the silhouette edges for opaque models and transparent models, so in tonight’s ChimeraX daily build it will draw silhouettes on molecules under transparent surfaces.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Tom</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Here’s a picture Elaine Meng made illustrating the problem you described, showing Chimera on left and ChimeraX on right.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><img apple-inline="yes" id="829C7513-BFE8-4F24-AF64-BEE57DD82C09" width="640" height="350" src="cid:82563E6E-30D0-4B2D-BE2B-D2FC3183D366" class=""></div><div class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Aug 30, 2019, at 12:21 AM, YAO HE <<a href="mailto:yaohe@ucla.edu" class="">yaohe@ucla.edu</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class="">Hi,<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I am using ChimeraX now to show the overlay between atomic model and transparent EM densities.
