Dear Eddi and all,

First, thank you for your reply. Yes I am using graphical interface and I checked it after activating the
1. Update selection every frame
2. Update color every frame.

But unfortunately it did not work. I am attaching my trajectory file with this email and I would appreciate if any of you could solve this problem.

Thanks
Anil

Hi Anil,

I assume you are using the graphical interface.
It sounds like the selection is not updated every frame.
Thus, activate:
"Update SelectionEvery Frame"
and
"Update Color Every Frame"
for your selections in
Graphics -> Representations -> Trajectory


Hope this helps.
