Hello,
FWIW It appears to be random when exporting only the selected atoms/residues. However, If I export the entire model then everything is ordered.
Thanks,
Scott

Hi Scott,

The two Chimera experts on this topic are on vacation back the end of next week.  I don't know what controls the order of atoms in a saved attribute file.  It is possible that it is random.  It is quite possible that you have no control over it.  Your suggestion to have a sensible order is reasonable.

Hello,

When I save attributes to a text file from the "Render/Select by Attribute" dialogue box the values are written to the file apparently in a random order. Is there a way to get the residues or atoms to be written in a sensible way? i.e. by residue/atom number.

Thanks,

Scott Classen
