[chimerax-users] Silhouettes cause fill

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Daniel,
Another parameter to play with is the graphics silhouettes "depthJump" value.  In this case you could try increasing it.  I've had similar problems, and at least part of the time, could solve them by fiddling with this value.

I hope this helps,
Elaine
