Re: [Chimera-users] Pipes command deletes the previous pipes model

Hi Vamsee, Seems like a little bug, probably thinks it’s the same model because they have the same major model number. However, the workaround is simple… just open the structure twice (in that case, no need to bother splitting), remove the chains you don’t want, and run pipe-and-planks on the different major model numbers. For example: open 4g80 open 4g80 del #0:.A-J:.T del #1:.A-J:.S focus color white,r pipes #0 helixArrow false helixSplit false helixSplitRatio 7.0 helixEdgeColor blue pipes #1 helixArrow false helixSplit false helixSplitRatio 7.0 helixEdgeColor red I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Hello Elaine, I'm trying to create pipes models with different edge colors for 2 models. I use the following command for the first model (model # - 0.11).

pipes #0.11 helixArrow false helixSplit false helixSplitRatio 7.0 helixEdgeColor blue

Then I try to create the second pipes model using the same command with the model number changed (model number #0.12)

pipes #0.12 helixArrow false helixSplit false helixSplitRatio 7.0 helixEdgeColor red

Basically the difference between the two pipes models is the edge color. But, when I run the second command, it deletes the first pipes model (#0.11). I'm not sure what is going on. I'm attaching the whole code here. Please advise.

open 0 4G80.pdb split delete #0.1-10

focus color white,r #

pipes #0.11 helixArrow false helixSplit false helixSplitRatio 7.0 helixEdgeColor blue pipes #0.12 helixArrow false helixSplit false helixSplitRatio 7.0 helixEdgeColor blue

Thank you, Vamsee
