Hi Evan, You must be using a version of Chimera older than the "split" command. If you use the documentation that came with your download (opened from the Help menu) it should be fairly synchronized with your software and you won't get confused by features you don't have! However, in this case, just get a newer version. The pages at our web site under http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/ docs/UsersGuide/ are "development documentation," which I am constantly changing as Chimera changes. It will generally have newer things than your downloaded software. The pages under http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/current/docs/ UsersGuide/ are documentation for the most recent production release (currently Nov 2007) and I see it also lists "split". So to use that feature you can get that production release: http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/download.html#production There are also much newer "daily builds" although they are essentially untested and exist mainly to provide access to the very latest developments. http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/download.html#production I just tried your structure in the production release and last night's daily build; "split" worked in both, so you should be all set!

Recent email address change caused the first try to bounce, so I resent it.
I've loaded a file (2rjp.pdb) with 4 chains and want to split it into 4 models so I can align them. But "split" returns:
unrecognized command: "split"
What am I doing wrong?
