Hi,
  You can perform atom selections on the atoms of interest and manually
reset their radii to whatever you want. This is the easiest way to cope
with atom names that VMD either doesn't recognize, or treats inappropriately.
You can set the atom radii via commands like these:
  set sel [atomselect top "name CA"]
  $sel set radius 5.0
  $sel delete

Enjoy,
  John Stone
