The file to modify is chimera/share/CageBuilder/gui.py or on Mac Chimera.app/Contents/Resources/share/CageBuilder/gui.py and the line to modify is apb = [('%d' % n , lambda n=n: self.attach_polygons(n)) for n in range(3,8)] which you could change replacing 8 by 16 to get apb = [('%d' % n , lambda n=n: self.attach_polygons(n)) for n in range(3,16)] which would create buttons in the Cage Builder panel for polygons with 3 through 15 sides. After you edit the file with a text editor (keep the indentation of the line the same as this is important in Python), then restart Chimera and it will have the new buttons.

My question is: is there any option to use for example octagons, decagons or even more-gons?
