Also, cardinal-spline ribbons look somewhat better than the default B-spline ribbons for left-handed helices. You may still have to assign the residues as helix manually or via PDB-file HELIX lines as described previously, but after that, you could display ribbons and then try the cardinal spline: ribspline cardinal … or with smoothed, less ripply beta-strands: ribsp card smooth strand … or to go back to default B-spline: ribsp b <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/ribspline.html> Elaine

The sentence should have ended with something like:
… cylinder representations from Axes/Planes/Centroids or PipesAndPlanks look OK for left-handed helices.
(which was noted later in the same reply). Sorry about that, Elaine
