Hi Ellen,
You sent this question to the Chimera address -- in the future, please send ChimeraX questions to the ChimeraX address chimerax-users@cgl.ucsf.edu <mailto:chimerax-users@cgl.ucsf.edu> CC'd here to avoid confusing the other users.

This answer is for ChimeraX:

It works for me: labels show the insertion code.   Make sure you have ChimeraX 1.8 or newer.   Example 1h4w which has residues with insertion codes 184A, 188A, 221A:

open 1h4w
label :184,184A height 2

I hope this helps,
Elaine

I attached an example cxc session along with the commands provided. In, for example, model #4, there are two residues labeled '100' even though when I hover over the residues, they have insertion codes. Do you know if there is a way I can label the residues with the position numbers including the insertion codes?
