I assume that PyMOL's clipping planes are simply OpenGL clipping planes,
in which case the answer is "no".  They're handled in hardware, not by the
application.

[PyMOL] Clipping planes and slab thickness for different objects?

[Stephan Tatzel]

I have one object showing the surface of a protein and another object showing a 
ligand inside the protein.
Is it possible to use the clip command to define different clipping planes for 
the 2 objects.
I want so "cut" the proteinsurface using clip, but the Ligand inside the 
protein should not be clipped, but displayed completely.

Thanks,
