Did you know... Split object split_object takes a multi-molecular object and converts it into a multi-state object. Similar to split_states but for molecules instead of states and the result of this is a multi-state object. <source lang="python"> import pymol def split_object(target_obj=None, source_obj=None, max_iter=500, quiet=1, _self=cmd): """ DESCRIPTION Splits a multi-molecular object into one multi-state object ARGUMENTS target_obj (string) name of target object source_obj (string) name of source object max_iter (int) maximum number of object to process; set to 0 to unlimit """ if source_object==None: print "Error: Please provide a source object." return # ensure the user gave us one object; save for prefix obj_list = _self.get_object_list(target_obj) if len(obj_list)>1: print " Error: Please provide only one object at a time." return if target_object==None: target_object = _self.get_unused_name(sour ..→
