The obvious solution to this for now is to turn off silhouettes when making these kinds of figures, but I quite like the effect that silhouettes provide, so I would rather not do so if there is an alternative. Perhaps in Chimera 2 it may be worth considering applying a depth dependent factor to the silhouette color (so it fades into the background color as it approaches the yon clipping plane)? Cheers, Oliver." enhancement new minor Graphics olibclarke@… all chimera
