Hi Horacio,

you can save as wrl (VRML) or povray (as posted earlier).
The former can be read by vtk (vtkVRMLImporter or so), from here you have a rich set of sophisticated algorithms such as decimate.
google  for vtkDecimate, vtkDecimatePro
There are bindings for a couple of languages, also Python.
Moreover, TVTK provides convenient python bindings to vtk
Let me know, if you are going that way because I had a similar project in mind, maybe we can combine efforts.

Best,
Andreas

Hi,

looking to the mesh representation of a protein in pymol, I wonder what could be the best/easiest method to get the cartesian coordinates of some arbitrary number of the points of the mesh at more or less regular (or arbitrary) intervals.

The only thing that I can think now of is to debug pymol in some way so I can dump the information used to generate the mesh.

Thanks in advance

Horacio
