Dear Bala, Here are the ways you can change the model ballscale and stickscale now: (a) setattr command, for example: setattr m stickScale 1.8 #1 setattr m ballScale 0.4 <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/setattr.html> (b) molecule model attributes panel. Open Model Panel, choose model(s) on left side, choose "attributes..." on the right side. Also, by default, just double-clicking the model name on the left side of the Model Panel will open its attributes panel. <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/moleculeattrib.html> I hope this helps, Elaine ---------- Elaine C.

Dear developers, Greetings. I downloaded a recent daily builds (July 8th) and I am quite happy to see the new additions on the Atoms/Bonds menu. I thank you all for your effort. I would like to request you for the addition the Stick and Ball size settings in the Atoms/Bonds menu. Because when i change the stick/Ball size from preference-New molecules option. I am not able to see the change for the molecule presently loaded in Chimera. It would be of great help to have this option in Atoms/Bonds menu itself. Regards, Bala
