Hi Paul - I'm not too familiar with 3D printing, so not sure if this will help you or not. But if all you need is to have extra cylinders in your output wrl file, you could add them using either CGO or distance objects directly within PyMOL.

I did ultimately find it there. Looks like what I was shooting for isn't likely to be very straightforward. From what I can tell, it doesn't seem that any of the atom information gets passed into RayRender. --p On 09/23/2016 12:34 PM, Sampson, Jared M. wrote: Hi Paul - The relevant function used for VRML export is RayRenderVRML2() in layer1/Ray.cpp. Cheers, Jared On Sep 22, 2016, at 11:43 AM, Paul Paukstelis <shocksofmig...@gmail.com<mailto:shocksofmig...@gmail.com>> wrote: Greetings, I've started playing with 3D printing some ball-and-stick models (primarily nucleic acids). I've worked up some Blender scripts to enable automatic pinning (e.g. add a small pin to cylinder of the O3'-P bond and a correspond hole in the phosphate sphere), however, I'm trying to further decrease the amount of user input needed in Blender to ultimately export the model parts for printing. One thing that would be really useful would be to define some custom child nodes in the VRML output (atom names for example) and subsequently input that into Blender as custom properties. Could someone point me to the most relevant pymol files responsible for VRML output? I did some quick fgrep'ing and didn't find too much that was of use. Blender side was pretty easy to accomplish so far.
