Rolf, it probably does not affect your problem, but your script is not the best example for this. Clearly, changing the vdw property does not take effect immediately, only when you issue a spacefill command, so that's not a good test
Maybe this: set defaultLoadScript "set echo top left; echo finished loading; spacefill 1.0 only;"; load =1deh; For me, the model does load as 1 angstrom balls. Of course, it may be that it first loads with "default rendering" and is later restyled. I donot see any changes, the first display is 1A balls. I am not yet sure what you aim at by "nothing should be rendered" spacefill off, wireframe off, cartoons off; ? hide all ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Jmol-users mailing list Jmol-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jmol-users
