Molecular surfaces can be visualized.

Five color schemes are available for surfaces:

A surface spanning multiple molecules can be visualized by creating a custom atom group that includes all atoms from the molecules (see Create atom group).

It is possible to adjust the opacity of a surface by adjusting the transparency slider at the bottom of the menu.
