New Script	save_settings can dump all changed settings to a file
Tips & Tricks	Instructions for generating 3D PDFs using PyMOL.
Wiki Update	Wiki has been updated. Please report any problems to the sysops.
New Scripts	Create objects for each molecule or chain in selection with split_object and split_chains
New Script	Rotkit: is a collection of usefull scripts to place your dye/molecule where you want. It includes a very handy, rotation around line, function.
New Script	Forster-distance-calculator: Can be used as a pymol-python shortcut to calculate the Förster distance between dyes from different companies. Useful, if the user have pymol installed, but not python. This script is meant as a tool to finding the right dyes, when labelling suitable positions for the site-directed cysteine mutants. See DisplacementMap.
New Script	propka: Fetches the pka values for your protein from the propka server. propka generates a pymol command file that make pka atoms, color and label them according to your protein. Inspection is made easy by grouping the pka atoms in the pymol menu.

Smooth Smooth performs a window average of coordinate states. Usage smooth [ selection [, passes [, window [, first [, last [, ends]]]]]] # for example, smooth and object with 30 passes and # a window size of 100. smooth myObj, 30, 100 ends = 0 or 1: controls whether or not the end states are also smoothed using a weighted asymmetric window To see smooth in context see this ..→
