opaque -- but you can't see the oxygen through the translucent plane.

Bob,

  Are you saying we should ask for too much more often?  ;-)

  I LOVE the translucency - I've been playing around with it using the
application - it's exactly what I was thinking of and makes isosurfaces so
much nicer.  I guess it's not yet in the applet?  (You mention version
11.1.21 and I'm building 11.1.20).

The applet gives the following error:

Exception in thread Thread-45 java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: translucentLevel
at org.jmol.viewer.MeshCollection.setProperty(MeshCollection.java:164)
at org.jmol.viewer.Draw.setProperty(Draw.java:252)
at org.jmol.viewer.Frame.setShapeProperty(Frame.java:1180)
Etc...

I got it now - works great.  The ability to fade in is an especially nice
effect.
