Hi Chimera users,

   Recently I’m switching from my favorite molecular graphics software “Pymol” to Chimera.
I find chimera very useful in terms of structural analysis and easy to drive through the smooth command line.
I have a question regarding drawing H-bond in figures for publications: Is there a way to instruct the program to draw a H-bond
Between two particular atoms in dotted (dashed) line style?

  I know that ‘hbond’ does a decent job in finding the H-bonds represented by solid lines. However, in the cases I tried the H-bond network found by ‘hbond’
Is a bit complicated and simplification is necessary for the figure. I wonder if the user can have a control over which “psudobond” to draw between what atoms.
This would make the program very handy for me.

  Thanks,
 Ibrahim
