Not sure what you guys are trying to accomplish, but I used the "hollow" package which generates probe atoms in PDB format suitable for loading into PyMol or coot. (Have not worked with this for a while hopefully I don't have to eat my words (-: ) http://hollow.sourceforge.net/ HTH Carsten -----Original Message----- From: Mailing list for users of COOT Crystallographic Software [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Oliver Clarke Sent: Tuesday, March 31, 2015 2:58 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [COOT] Export HOLE-coot atoms as pdb Hi Alex, I don't believe there is a way to do this at present (the probe dots are not atoms and as such cannot be manipulated in the same way), but I would also find this useful, for exactly this purpose. Cheers, Oliver.
