Overview

PyMOL has a web-like, Mesh representation, as shown in the example images below.

Using the internal GUI, you may enable mesh by clicking the box with the letter S in it and selecting mesh.

Syntax

# show the selection, SEL, in mesh
show mesh, SEL

# using the 'as' keyword
as mesh, SEL

Example

select B, i. 40-110
show mesh, B


Settings

Notes

  • Mesh doesn't ray trace well in set [ray_trace_mode]], 3. Try setting this to 0 if you mesh looks wonky.
