Re: [PyMOL] unable to export obj

Hi Albert -

Surface mode 2 outlines the mesh edges with thin cylinders, but if I remember correctly, I think PyMOL’s OBJ export doesn’t do cylinders (or spheres or cones), only triangle meshes.  You could try exporting to VRML2 (.wrl) or COLLADA (.dae) format and using something like, e.g. Blender to convert to OBJ if that’s what you really need.

Hope that helps,
Jared

P.S. Albert - sorry for the duplicate email, I forgot to CC the list last time…

Hi,
I am trying to get a .obj file, but fail when setting up surface_type to
2. More explicitly:
load 1ppe.pdb, 1ppe
set surface_type, 2
hide everything
show surface
shows a nice triangulated surface. However,
save myscene.obj
saves an empty file.

I've tried pymol versions 1.7.4 and 1.6.0. Saving into an obj file works
well when surface_type is set to 0, or 1. Any help?

Best,
Albert
