Dear Chimera Team,

first of all, I would like to thank you for providing a sotfware solution to molecular visualization and by the way 3D-printing.

I send you this message concerning the UCSF Chimera X version. We usually are preparing our 3D-printing files from data collected from the pdb and to ensure the rigidity of the system, we thick the ribbon size and also add some H-bonds (mainly for helices). However, we are not able to find the way to do it in this version.

In the previous version (1.17), the command line was : Tools-depiction-ribbon style editor

Could you explain us the new procedure to make this ?

We also noticed that the opportunity to save the file in a stl extension was not allowed in the 1.17 version. This option is running in the X version.

Thank you very much for your reply

Best regards.

fhporee
