Roger, This isnt possible right now. The only way to do it is to create two objects, surfacing different atoms in each object, and then enabling transparency in just one of the two objects.

I have tried creating a separate surface for these residues and the rest of the protein and setting transparency for the object covering only those residues, but this gives a very discontinuous looking surface representation. Is it possible to just enable transparency on a limited region of a surface?
