[[visLoad]] will load an object and show it in your desired representation.  PyMOL by default loads things as lines (or spheres, a setting you may change), but not others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Usage =&lt;br /&gt;
* Save the code to &amp;quot;visLoad.py&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
* Run the code from PyMOL or put it in your .pymolrc&lt;br /&gt;
* Use visLoad whenever you would use load&lt;br /&gt;
* To change representations, update &amp;quot;cartoon&amp;quot; to something else, or add more intermediate commands.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= The Code =&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;source lang=&amp;quot;python&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
import os&lt;br /&gt;
from os import path&lt;br /&gt;
from pymol import cmd&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
def visLoad(filename, object=None, *args, **kwargs):&lt;br /&gt;
        if object==None:&lt;br /&gt;
                object = os.path.basename(filename).split(&amp;quot;.&amp;quot;)[0]&lt;br /&gt;
        cmd.set(&amp;quot;suspend_updates&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
        try:&lt;br /&gt;
                cmd.load(filename, object, *args, **kwargs)&lt;br /&gt;
                cmd.show_as(&amp;quot;cartoon&amp;quot;, object)&lt;br /&gt;
        finally:&lt;br /&gt;
                cmd.set(&amp;quot;suspend_updates&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;off&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
cmd.extend(&amp;quot;visLoad&amp;quot;, visLoad)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/source&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;[[visLoad]] will load an object and show it in your desired representation.  PyMOL by default loads things as lines (or spheres, a setting you may change), but not others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Usage =&lt;br /&gt;
* Save the code to &amp;quot;visLoad.py&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
* Run the code from PyMOL or put it in your .pymolrc&lt;br /&gt;
* Use visLoad whenever you would use load&lt;br /&gt;
* To change representations, update &amp;quot;cartoon&amp;quot; to something else, or add more intermediate commands.&lt;br /&gt;
