[chimerax-users] making cryoEM surface transparent

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Priyanka,
I changed the Subject line to something descriptive.

Try menu: Actions... Surface... Transparency... [choose the % transparency you want]

<http://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/menu.html#actions>

- OR -

Command: transparency 50
(for 50% ... you could use some other number)

<http://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/transparency.html>

Another way to make the surface see-through is to use the surface mesh style.

I hope this helps,
Elaine
