Surface smooth edges When the surface representation is only partially visible (e.g. ligand binding site surface), the surface_smooth_edges setting controls appearance of the surface edges. New in Incentive PyMOL 1.8.6 Values surface_smooth_edges=off: (default) disables surface edge smoothing. surface_smooth_edges=on: enables surface edge smoothing. Consecutive vertices of the surface edge are averaged resulting in smoother-looking edge. Examples set surface_smooth_edges, off set surface_smooth_edges, on set surface_smooth_edges, off set surface_smooth_edges, on See Also surface representation surface_proximity surface_carve_selection
