[Chimera-users] assistance

I asked this question several months ago, but rarely have applied the answer. I have a structure that has a long stretch that is disordered. In the structure it appears as a dashed line. If I highlight this section of the total sequence and then apply a color (red) the whole structure is then colored red. So how can I make the dashes slightly larger, and secondly color that stretch of dashes with a particular color without coloring the rest of the molecule? Thank you Arthur G. Szabo
