Hi Gabe,

  I've added a "pipes" command to tonight's Chimera daily build, for example,

	pipes #0 helixColor pink strandColor salmon

and to delete the pipes and planks

	~pipes #0

Other command options with default values are:

       helixColor = None,
       helixEdgeColor = None,
       helixArrow = True,
       helixFixedRadius = True,
       helixRadius = 1.25,
       helixSplit = False,
       helixSplitRatio = 2.5,
       strandColor = None,
       strandEdgeColor = None,
       strandArrow = True,
       strandFixedWidth = True,
       strandWidth = 2.5,
       strandFixedThickness = True,
       strandThickness = 1.0,
       strandSplit = False,
       strandSplitRatio = 2.5,
       displayCoils = True,
       displayTurns = True,
       turnColor = None,
       turnEdgeColor = None,
       turnResolution = 10,
       turnWidth = 0.25,
       turnThickness = 0.25

Colors by default match the ribbon color, or molecule color.

  Tom
