      Is it possible to create ball and stick models with this plugin? I’m currently creating 3D models of macromolecules by importing PDB files, but they only seem to appear in either sticks or van der waals spheres.

      Hi George. BlendMol uses VMD to generate meshes "under the hood." You can also use VMD directly to set up your scene, and VMD does include a ball-and-sticks representation. You can then save the VMD scene as a visualization state file (. vmd extension) that you can load into Blender via BlendMol. Hope this answer helps.
