Hi Hernando, To hide and show the whole model without changing individual atom/ribbon display (same as checking the Model Panel “S” box), use the “modeldisplay” command, for example: ~modeldisp #4 modeldisp #2-5 see <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/modeldisplay.html> It also works with surface models, but since a molecular surface generally has the same model number as the atomic model it was based on, it is tricky to specify it separately. Here is a somewhat ugly example of specifying only surface model #0 but not atomic model #0: ~modeldisp #0 & ~ @* (hide model 0 but not any atoms). If you just used #0 it would hide both atomic model #0 and surface model #0. I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Is there a command to show/hide surfaces that does the same as checking/unchecking the GUI model panel hide box?. Or something equivalent to the comands: ~show ribbon ~ribbon for atoms and ribbons ? Thks H.
