Hi James, I am not sure what the exact cause of your issue is but I think if you make a selection first then apply the transparency to the selection that should work, i.e.:
sele ss H+S set cartoon_transparency, 0.5, sele Something to do with selection based transparency settings not enabling newer ones to be made Cheers, Ali On 26/6/19, 6:18 pm, "James Starlight" <jmsstarli...@gmail.com> wrote: Dear pymol users! I am trying to set transparency based on the secondary structure using pymol selection algebra # set transparency to all helix and sheets but not loops set cartoon_transparency, 0.5, ss H+S which produce the following output PyMOL>set cartoon_transparency, 0.5, ss H+S Setting: cartoon_transparency set for 144 atoms in object "0190_before_minim". but actually do nothing in terms of visualization. Could you suggest me how it would be possible to fix it?
