<![CDATA[Transparency and Set color for Gaussian Surface Visual Model does not work]]>
  • The problem of transparency: after loading a protein structure (pdb file), I create a Secondary structure and a Gaussian surface Visual models on the the protein structure. I then set the transparency for the Gaussian surface, but I cannot see the secondary structure below the surface
  • I right clicked on the Gaussian surface and set a color of a constant value. It does not work

    • Does anyone have the solutions?

You need to use it when you change the color.

    About the transparency: it depends on the order of visual models. Since order-independent transparency is not yet implemented, you will see the secondary structure only if it comes before the gaussian surface (when you traverse the document in depth-first order).

    Here is an example with the Gaussian surface first:

    And here is an example with the Gaussian surface after the secondary structure:
