Hi John, There are several ways to select atoms, but I guess you mean "picking" them from the screen. By default, picking two atoms would be done with Ctrl-click on the first atom, then Shift-Ctrl-click on the second. The shift is needed to add to the selection instead of replacing it.
How to select is described here: <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/selection.html>
and in the getting started tutorial <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/Outreach/Tutorials/GettingStarted.html#MenuMouse>
Or, if you are looking at the Distances tool, you could press its Help button to see its man page, which lists the ways to add the measurement and includes links to the selection page.
I hope this helps, Elaine
Hi, Now that we're here... Is it possible to pick just one atom and show the distances of surrounding atoms within a certain radius. I'm not talking about zone selection, just showing distances (as the usual pseudo-bonds) up to a fixed or user-defined radius. If the possibility does not exist, it would be nice to have.
