Hi Markus,

There are always multiple ways to do things in Chimera.  Here's a one-liner if you prefer

color byelement ~element.C

The "~" in front of element.C means "not".

Hi Tom,
 
This works, thanks.  Although it seems to be a bit of a roundabout way of going about this … :-/
 
Cheers

Hi Markus,
 
  How about Chimera commands
 
            color byelement
            ~color element.C
 
The first line colors the carbons gray, and the second says to unset their color, which makes them default to the color set for each molecule.

Hello,
 
I don’t seem to be able to figure out how to color a scene by element, but with different carbon colors for different chains.
 
I can’t figure out how to get an expression like
 
“color green, chain C C”
 
Or something like that …
 
How to go about this?
 
Thanks and Cheers
Markus
