Hi Bob, Sounds like the conference was a success.
As I noted in an earlier email, I'm generating the script and I don't exactly know when a particular script will be generated, so I then to sprinkle extra "subset"s and "select"s around to make sure that I know the selection state when I send a script to the Jmol interpreter. The important thing with this problem is to have multiple chains. I tend to use 1A3N (hemoglobin) because it has 4. I'm guessing that some of the recently added isosurface variables are either not being initialized or being overwritten when a parallel process executes. It has a not-thread-safe quality about it. I hope you got some vacation in, --Chuck ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert Hanson To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, August 09, 2010 1:15 AM Subject: Re: [Jmol-users] BUG: Parallel isosurfaces changed between RC26 and12.0.2 Sorry for the delay -- was at the BCCE conference -- "subset" and "select" are global settings -- you wouldn't want any of that in the process blocks. In addition, unless you have previously used subset, issuing it here has no effect. Just put it before the first process{} command. Also, select here has no effect on the isosurface command, since you have a select option there. And "A" is probably not defined anyway, so that's why you are getting 0 atoms selected. I'll check on my MacBook when I return to my office, as it uses 2 processors and this laptop doesn't.
