Thanks Elaine, I will try to do this with ChimeraX. What I am trying to to do is to generate symetry related copies of a model fitted into a density map using the sym command. I noticed that the only way to define the center of symetry to be centered on the density volume was using the option center #n (where n is the id of the voume density) but only after doing center and orient by pressing the buttons in the volume viewer. Although chimeraX is much more prowerful I still find hard to find the the equivalent in ChimeraX of some operations that I use often in Chimera. 😉 Thanks again, Best H. _ ________________________________ From: Elaine Meng <meng@cgl.ucsf.edu> Sent: Tuesday, October 8, 2024 5:04 PM To: Hernando J Sosa <hernando.sosa@einsteinmed.edu> Cc: chimera-users <chimera-users@cgl.ucsf.edu> Subject: Re: [Chimera-users] Center and Orient CAUTION: This email comes from an external source; the attachments and/or links may compromise our secure environment.

In Chimera, there may not be commands that do exactly the same thing as some button. You might look at "focus <model-number>" and "reset" (maybe only if one model is open, or they haven't been moved relative to one another?) but in my tests, they did not do exactly the same thing as those buttons. That's one reason ChimeraX is way better than Chimera! You can use the GUI and it shows the command that it used in the Log. Best, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Dear Chimera,
What would be the equivalent commands to the Center and Orient buttons at the bottom of the Volume Viewer menu tab?
Thanks
