Hi All,

I have been recently trying to color a volume by a map value...
So far it worked really well using the color command....

color sample #1 map #2 offset 0.1 palette " values"

But my problem is the following: when I clip the volume the surface cap is
now transparent... is there a way to have the surface cap not transparent
but instead colored according to the map value like it is in Chimera?

Also another thing, I usually do is the following:

open volume1.mrc
volume surfaceSmoothing true
surface dust #1
lighting soft

Then, when  I clip through the map the surface cap is again transparent
unless dust is turn off (suface undust #1)... I also tried surface cap
false and then true but nothing changes...

Is there a way around it? or does the surface dust function is somehow turn
the surface cap always transparent?

Thanks for the hard work and the nice software!

Best

Bertrand
