Applying settings from one molecule to another
Hi, Is it possible (or if not, might it be worth considering in a future version) to apply the display settings (colors, ribbon/stick display etc) from one molecule to another? I’ thinking particularly about a case when one develops a figure with quite complicated coloring and so forth, saves it as a session (potentially with multiple views etc), and then obtains a new, better set of coordinates (from a later refinement, for example). Obviously such a feature would only apply to the atoms in common between the two models (if they are allowed to differ at all), but I feel like this would be a very handy feature to have. Best, Oliver.
Hi Oliver, I don't know if it covers everything you had in mind, but there is something like this for the molecule-specific settings (not the global settings)… see command "mcopy": <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/mcopy.html> I hope this helps, Elaine ---------- Elaine C.

Elaine - thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks, Oliver.
