Description

Currently per-vertex coloring and triangle masking (surface zones) are saved for volume surfaces in scenes, but not for molecular surfaces or other surface types. Would like them to work for non-volume surfaces.

This was discussed in volume scenes ticket #19150.

I don't think per-atom coloring or transparency of molecular surfaces is saved/restored in a scene either, at least according to a few small tests in today's daily build. But maybe per-atom-patch coloring is just a special case of per-vertex coloring, as opposed to a single overall color and single overall transparency.

No scene code has been added for molecular surfaces. Model types which do not have scene code specifically written for them will only use generic model scene saving which saves their position, whether they are displayed, and possibly their single color.

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
