BNI Tools is a plug in for PyMOL which adds additional functionalities and presets to the PyMOL GUI.

Installation

Install it using the 'Install Plugin' menu within PyMOL:
PyMOL > Plugin > Plugin Manager

Example images created using BNI Tools

Create a box around a selection Load and show DelPhi or other maps Create a box Exclude parts of surface Create Plane Create a main chain track

BNI Tools dropdown menu (Plugin > BNI Tools > ...)
