Stick radius

Overview

This setting affects the radius of sticks in the sticks representation. Default scale is set to 0.25.

In newer versions of PyMOL, one may set the Stick_radius on a per-bond basis. So, you can set for example, the radius of only selected bonds if you want. This is done through the Set_bond command.

• 

  stick_radius set to 0.05

• 

  stick_radius set to the default 0.25

• 

  stick_radius set to 0.85

Syntax

set_bond stick_radius, ''size'', selection

where,

• size can be any float number. Using 0.25 (default value) is usually appropriate for most representations, although 0.15 migh be preferred for comparing closely related structures, e.g., conformers.

Note:

set_bond stick_radius

by itself will revert to 1.00.

If the above commands do not work

You can do something like below

set stick_radius=0.12
