This requires putting a tricky ""wait 1"" in the script. No one can figure that out. We solved this same type of problem with volume threshold changes by having the volume code recompute surfaces immediately if session.in_script is true. Could do the same for the clip caps. Begin forwarded message: From: Daniel Asarnow Subject: [chimerax-users] Surface caps only colored interactively Date: April 7, 2021 at 6:27:04 PM PDT To: ChimeraX Users Help Hi, I'm trying to generate a figure using several surfaces colored by map values. If I clip a surface, and then color it, the caps have the correct colors. However, when I do the same thing non-interactively, the caps are uncolored. Am I doing something wrong? view front.cut color sample #1.1 map #1.2 palette cyanmaroon range 2.25,7.0 #surface dust #1.1 size 100 save front_cut.png pixelSize 0.1 transparentBackground true Best, -da" defect closed moderate Surface fixed asarnow@msg.ucsf.edu all ChimeraX
