Dear all, when a periodic system is visualized into Chimera (e.g., a periodic waterbox), is it possible to visualize explicitly the borders of the periodic box (defined for instance in the last line of coordinate/ restart files in case of AMBER format structures)? Last, is it also possible to see the periodic images of the original box along X, Y & Z axes? How? I thank you in advance for the support and I look forward to receiving any feedback from you.

Hi Giovanni, I'm sorry but neither of these is currently possible in Chimera. You'll have to use another visualization program (VMD?) if you need these capabilities. --Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu
