Hi Bing Wang, It depends what you mean by “vertical”. You can get the closest distance of two planes (considering them as infinite) by selecting both their rows in the axes/planes/centroid tables, or with the distance command, for example: distance p1 p2 However, there is no simple way to get the distance only along a specific direction. I hope this helps, Elaine ---------- Elaine C. Meng, Ph.D. UCSF Computer Graphics Lab (Chimera team) and Babbitt Lab Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry University of California, San Francisco

Hi Chimera,
Is there a way to measure the vertical distance of two planes in the structure? I do know how to measure the angle between two planes or one line and one plane by the Axes/Planes/Centroids in Chimera. I don't need the distance of two centroid of two planes. I do need the vertical distance of two planes. Could you please show me in detail?
Thanks a lot!
