How do I get rid of the little pieces of crossed lines in the 1crn display?

[Deron Johnson]

When I load the 1crn molecule, the resulting display is peppered with little crossed lines. (They look like little axis diagrams). 

See the attached screen shot.

How do I get rid of these? 

(At first I thought these might be stray molecules in the pdb file, like waters, but I don't see any in the .pdb file).

I appreciate your help! Thanks.

Hi, 

these show the current selection, you can toggle them off in the epmv tab or you can do it manually in the scene hierarchy (its called "epmv_sel_cloudds"). I attached a screenshot that highlight the toggle button.

Thanks. That did the trick. What exactly was selected in this case? And why are they selected by default?

Hi, 

if there is no string selection in the input field it will show the full asymmetric unit, e.g. everything. There is a pulldown menu for predefined keyword selection and you can find the full description of the selection system here : http://mgldev.scripps.edu/docs/mgltools/1.5.6/Selection%20Strings.htm

We have some tutorial on our website as well, you can check this one http://epmv.scripps.edu/documentation/tutorials/written-tutorials/general-epmv-tutorials most of the step should be feasible in blender.
