Hi Troels, I've run into this problem a few times, too, but never took the time to solve it correctly.
A quick plan might look like: * cmd.orient on the selection * store the view vector (http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Get_View) * let C1 = count the number of atoms behind the view vector, using something like (http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/SelInside) * invert the view vector * let C2 = count the number of atoms behind the view vector, using something like (http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/SelInside) * compare C1 to C2, choosing the * if C2 < C1 then flip the view You could use other tricks. I'm sure the community has other ideas.
