Overview
PyMOL has a web-like, Mesh representation, as shown in the example images below.
Using the internal GUI, you may enable mesh by clicking the box with the letter S in it and selecting mesh.
Syntax
# show the selection, SEL, in mesh
show mesh, SEL
# using the 'as' keyword
as mesh, SEL
Example
select B, i. 40-110
show mesh, B
Mesh Representation Example
Mesh in ray_trace_mode,0
Mesh in ray_trace_mode,3; burnt and probably not what you're looking for.
Mesh with width of 0.5, half of normal
Using mesh is a great way to show enclosed pockes.

Notes
- Mesh doesn't ray trace well in set [ray_trace_mode]], 3. Try setting this to 0 if you mesh looks wonky.
