Hi Elaine, I was using the Aqua version of Chimera for Mac when it happened to me in a training session. Doh! Of course, I just tried it again on that same system and it did work. Maybe I did something else wrong... Either way, it is important to know how to treat those pesky alternative positions!

Hmm, that's very puzzling to me -- I'm using a Mac now and I tested exactly that before replying! Elaine
for example: open 2fma disp focus :170 ~disp @.b (or, ~disp :170@.b)

Hi everyone,
It is my experience with Chimera on a Macintosh computer that the alternate designation must be case-sensitive. In other words:
~disp :42@.b - will NOT undisplay alternate location B atoms in residue 42
~disp :42@.B - will undisplay alternate location B atoms in residue 42
YMMV, Darrell
