Hi Leif, Short answer: Without selecting it, you can just hide it from the Model Panel (open from Favorites menu). Uncheck the “S” box (S for Shown) for the model named AutoDock Vina Search Volume. This just hides the whole model, and you can check the box to show it again. Additional explanation: The ability to select it can be thought of as a (possibly confusing) side effect of its being treated as atoms and bonds. So the alternative is to use Select -> Chains -> (no ID) to select these “atoms” and then Actions… Atoms/Bonds… hide. (The purpose of using Select menu is to create a selection for the Actions menu.) Then although the model is shown, the “atoms” are hidden, so to show them again, if they’d gotten deselected in the meanwhile, you’d have to select the same way as before, which will be invisible, and then use Atoms… Atoms/Bonds… show. I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C. Meng, Ph.D. UCSF Chimera(X) team Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry University of California, San Francisco

Using SelectàChainsà(no ID), I can select the AutoDock Vina Search Volume structure after performing a docking, but once it’s selected (highlighted in green), I can’t seem to remove it from the molecular plot. What is the recommend way to remove the square frame?
