[chimerax-users] Colouring clipping plane

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Cedric!
In the Models panel, use the disclosure triangles and expand until you can see the surface cap model (see attached image) -- there will be a square color well for that model, in the column between the ID and the "eye" (show/hide).  Click that color well and it should bring up your system color-editor.  Then when you choose the color in that dialog it will replace the electrostatic coloring on the cap.

I hope this helps,
Elaine
