Hi Damien,
I cannot reproduce this problem -- per-model clipping works fine for me here, both on my desktop Mac and on a Windows 7 box in the lab.  Please do this:  save a session just before you would turn on clipping and then use "Help->Report A Bug" to file a bug report and attach the session.  That will help us debug this.

Dear all,

I try to use the Per-Model clipping tool but this error is returned, whatever the PDB file: Model cannot currently be clipped [no valid bounding box]

Do I make something wrong?

I use Chimera version 1.6.1 (build 35849). My configuration is Windows 7 64bits, ATI Mobility Radeon HD5650.

Many thanks for your help!
