Sarina, I'm not sure where that "3D10" is coming from -- it should simply be the number 10:
alter all, b=10 map_new can take a selection as its fourth argument, so you could generate an independent map for each subunit, show the surface, and color it independently. It's also possible to color a surface by atomic proximity, but the approach is a bit convoluted: load some.pdb, prot util.cbc prot alter prot,b=10 set gaussian_resolution, 9.0 map_new dcalc, gaussian, 3.0 map_double dcalc isosurface dsurf, dcalc, 1.0, prot ramp_new dramp, prot, [-10,0,10] color dramp, dsurf Cheers, Warren -- Warren L.
