Chimera relies on the no-longer-supported Amber program sleap to add the ions, and that program was using an old leaprc (leaprc.ff02.r1) that in turn used an old ions file (ions03.lib) that had a very limited set of ions. I have now switched to a newer leaprc for sleap (leaprc.ff14SB) and consequently newer ions lib (atomic_ions.lib) with many more ion types available, including Ca2+. So, if you get the next daily build you should be able to add Ca2+ ions. —Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab

Chimera allows users to add ions to a given structure using Amber tools. This option has a predecided set of ions. Is it possible to add ions other than those mentioned in the add ions option. For example,Ca2+ is not included in the list, so is it possible to add Ca2+ ions?
