Updating coordinates without having to regenerate the depiction of an atomic model

Hi, Within Chimera is there any way in which the underlying coordinates of an atomic model can be updated in order to yield the same depiction but based on the new coordinates, or (equivalently) can the attributes of one model be transferred to another, assuming of course that they have the same underlying protein sequence, etc. thanks Mike Lawrence Walter + Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research Parkville Australia ______________________________________________________________________ The information in this email is confidential and intended solely for the addressee.

Hi Mike, Take a look at the "mcopy" command -- I think that's what you want. It doesn't handle all attributes, but you could copy depiction/colors from one model to another, or (opposite direction) the atomic coordinates. <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/mcopy.html> I hope this helps, Elaine ---------- Elaine C.
