Hi Thomas, I believe the only alternative view synchronized with the main window is in the Side View tool (under Favorites). The default is a side view, but you can change it to "top" if that is any better. You can make the Side View window large, but it is fairly limited in that there are only 2 choices of view, the background color does not change, it doesn't show the labels, etc. When I tried this I kept attempting to move the structure with the mouse in the Side View, which doesn't work!

Hi Chimera's ... is there an easy way to create orthogonal views at the same time of a molecule ? The idea is to open a (pdb) file and visualize the molecule from orthogonal directions at the same time in one viewer. Rotation/ movemements of the molecule should be done then on all three views at the same time of course. Maybe you have already implemented such an option (similar to the stereo viewing ...) Tx, -T.
