Dear JD, Yes, there is actually a "define plane" command that takes an atom specification and various options. You can use the resulting plane (shown as a disc) for distance and angle measurements.

It can also be done with the Axes/Planes/Centroids tool. < http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/structuremeas/stru...

Dear all,
is there a way to define a plane from the command line. Something that would work providing a list of atoms or a selection. Cheers, JD
