The Raster3D component rastep
	http://www.bmsc.washington.edu/raster3d/html/rastep.html
can be used by itself or as back-end to the interactive programs
XtalView, Molscript, and ORTEX
More info on all of these at
	http://www.bmsc.washington.edu/raster3d/raster3d.html

Also if you just want a quick trial you could feed your PDB file to the
PARVATI validation server, which among other things will create a
thermal ellipsoid figure of your entire protein along with individual
representations of residues with suspect ADPs.
