We are having some trouble getting the output of GRASP loaded into VMD.

GRASP has a variety of outputs after it has generated a surface. It can
create a
surface as a series of points in PDB format, but this looks hideous and
is fairly useless as
the surface information has been lost.

The VMD file dialogue has GRASP files listed , but it asks for a file
pair and GRASP only generates single
files (as far as I can tell.) I can get a GRASP surface file to display
in VMD by selecting
some arbitrary second file. The surface is displayed, but I am not sure
about centering
or other features (we are trying to stack several surface images and
they need to be centered
on the same point.) Also, VMD appears to treat the surfaces as objects
and I am unable to get
get each loaded surface to display in a different color.

Any help in this would be appreciated.

Thanks,

A.
