Hi Jean-Paul, I don't understand your use-case, "fast checking"? But here's how to do it using a new command called "zonesel" in Chimera 1.6 daily builds. http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/zonesel.html If I want to show the part of model #1 within 10 Anstroms of any atom in model #0 zonesel #0 10 #1 That just selects the near atoms, then to show just those show sel And if you want only to show ribbons for that near part ~rib ; rib sel This could all be done on one line zonesel #0 10 #1 ; show sel ; ~rib ; rib sel This command is not in Chimera 1.5.

hello,
there is a zone function for density maps+pdbs, which zones the map around the pdb in a certain radius. is it somehow feasible in chimera to do such thing with two pdbs ? what i mean is to zone a molecular model around another molecular model? (the reason for that is the speed, in which elaborate models are shown, sometimes zoning would be very useful for fast-checking). would be grateful for your help, best regards,
