Actually, PyMOL cannot bend cylindrical helices. The workaround is to break them manually:
load $PYMOL_PATH/test/dat/1tii.pdb
as cartoon
set cartoon_cylindrical_helices
# Insert a break into the longest helix (only slightly bent)
cartoon skip, C/216/CA
Cheers,
Warren

Hi Susanne,
On the Pymol menu go to Setting --> Cartoon --> Cylindrical Helices

Dear ccp4bb-people,
I would like to depict my protein with curved cylindrical helices using PyMOL.
(I know and use bobscript "rod fitted" for this purpose and like it.)
Anyway, I wonder if anybody has a script or knows how to tell PyMOL to follow the curvature of helices in the cylindrical cartoon representation?
Many thanks in advance.
Best wishes,
Susanne
