In cases 2 and 3, make the representation that is blue (everything else) not
include the part of interest in red or yellow.

In other words, something like "protein and not resid ___ to ___".

The problem is, you have two overlapping representations and tachyon does
not know which you meant to be on top.

Subject: vmd-l: RENDER ISSUES

Hi,

Sorry to resend email, if this is posted twice- I seem to have some problem
with my email.

I am trying to render an image in vmd for which I have 3 separate
representations

1. CA backbone (blue)
2. CA atoms forming part of a helix (red)
3. CA atoms forming Ligand binding pocket perimeter (yellow)

I render the view using tachyon,

and alll I can see is the first representaion ie solid blue backbone. I am
using a UNIX system.

Can you tell me what is going wrong pls?

Thanks

Claire
