Hi Artur, Sorry, there is no option for polygons with N sides >7 in the Cage Builder tool. <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/cagebuilder/cagebuilder.html> You can create arbitrary polygon objects and other shapes in the BILD input format (a simple text file), but in that case you have to specify the vertex coordinates yourself — it doesn’t automatically form enclosed cages. <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/bild.html> I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Hi all,
I would like to build a cage model using cage builder, but the problem is that I need to use different polygons than available in the pop-up window of cage builder. My question is: is there any option to use for example octagons, decagons or even more-gons?
Thank in advance Artur
