Thank you very much for your response.
My exact problem is that I'm trying to find a way to
automatically save all the models (and submodels) that are
opened in Chimera at a time. It's easy when models are
numbered #0, #1, #2 etc - then, I use:
opened=openModels.list()
howmany=len(opened)
while
howmany>=0:
command="write
"+str(howmany)+" "+o_path+"/"+str(howmany)+".pdb"
runCommand(command)
howmany-=1
Unfortunately, when I split, let's say, #0 that contains
3 chains, and then use the above code, I get an error:
MidasError: 3 model
ids match "0"
So maybe
there's a different way to do it? I'd like to save #0.1,
#0.2 and #0.3 to seperate files. I know it's possible from
Chimera's interface, but I have no idea how to do it when
my script doesn't have any info about the number of
submodels etc.
Thank you for
your time once again,
Mateusz

Hi Mateusz,
The "split #0" command produces separate models for
each chain. They are numbered #0.1, #0.2, #0.3, ...
with the same primary id number (0) and different
secondary id numbers. You can use these two-part id
numbers in any Chimera command (e.g. color blue
#0.2), or you can refer to all the models using #0.
There is currently not a way to change the id
numbers of models.

Hello,
Is there a command / a way to split a model
into seperate models (one for each chain)? I
know there is the "split" command, but it
divides the model into submodels.
