Great suggestion, I'll just use cat and strip the END lines. Since I want to then use these with morph conformations will I also have to resequence the atom id's?

Hi Ed, The "write" command only allows you to save one model at a time. <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/write.html>
To save multiple models to one PDB file you have to use the GUI ("File... Save PDB" or "Actions... Write PDB"). <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/savemodel.html#pdb>
Sorry about that, Elaine ----- Elaine C. Meng, Ph.D. meng@cgl.ucsf.edu UCSF Computer Graphics Lab (Chimera team) and Babbitt Lab Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry University of California, San Francisco http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/home/meng/index.html

Elaine and co,
I have a mess of models that I'm opening, repositioning a ligand using match to various positions in each model. No problem there. For each model and ligand position I select the correct chains from that model with the repositioned ligand models but can't manage to save coordinates. Obviously there's the save pdb dialog but for all these models and ligands this will be more convenient scripted into chimera commands. I've got it all working except this:
select #6:.a-p #8 #9 write selected relative 0 #6,8,9 /path/to/file.pdb ~select
The part it doesn't like is the model_numbers and I've tried various permutations without success. The only way I can get it to work is if I only specify one model number.
Can you please help me figure out how to phrase this command correctly? An example or two on that commands page might make the syntax easier to decipher.
Thank you for your excellent program and support.
Ed
