Hi Bala, Deleting is applied to specified atoms, not other stuff like BILD objects or density maps. To get rid of those other types of models you would use the command "close", for example: close 0 [or] close #0 if the BILD model is #0. Normally delete is used to get rid of part of an atomic structure, (for example, "delete solvent") whereas "close" gets rid of whole models of all types. <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/open.html> <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/delete.html> I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Dear Chimerians, I created one .bild file and loaded it in chimera. When i use del command the object is not getting deleted.
open eg.bild del #0 -> now the arrows that are displayed on the screen is not deleted. Why is it so ?
