Hi Kristin, The simplest approach is to select the icosahedral cage (ctrl-click on it), the use inspection selector (button in lower right corner of graphics window), and change the "line thickness" parameter to the value you want in screen pixels. Some other approaches using commands "shape", "hkcage" and "meshmol" can do the job -- the meshmol command allowing you to make cylindrical edges if you want that: http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/shape.html http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/hkcage.html http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/meshmol.html Tom -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Chimera-users] icosahedral cage From: Kristin Parent <kparent@ucsd.edu> To: chimera-users@cgl.ucsf.edu Date: 7/17/09 11:21 AM
does anyone know if there is a way to increase the line thickness of the icosahedron cage in the higher-order structures option? Can't seem to figure it out. Thanks in advance. Kristin
