Hi, I'm measuring distance between two points. The measurement goes well and I get a correct value in the viewport. I would like to get the same value into a Python variable. Is it possible? I'm thinking about a code like this: d = chimera.runCommand('distance #1 #2') However, it seems to be impossible to get any value from runCommand, I always get None... Even parsing the log that appears in IDLE from commands 'distance #1 #2' or 'measure distance #1 #2' would sort-of work, but I don't know how to capture the log either... Is there a way to get values into variables from 'measure distance'? Thank you! Alex
