Thanks so much Elaine for the fast response, much appreciated. It worked like a charm. Happy Holidays. - Vijay

Hi Vijay, There are a few ways to hide these "missing segments" pseudobonds.

Method 1: Ctrl-click to select one of the dashed lines, click magnifying glass on lower right corner of Chimera window to open Selection Inspector, Inspect "Pseudobond group," change "displayed" to "false"

Method 2: open PseudoBond Panel (under Tools... General Controls), choose "missing segments" from the left side and click "hide" on the right side

Method 3: "setattr" command, e.g.: setattr g display false

but that turns off all pseudobonds, not just missing segment. You could also use the setattr command to only undisplay certain pseudobonds but that would require selecting or naming the endpoint atoms in the command, so if you want to retain other pseudobonds the first two methods will be easier.

Hello, If the there is break in the structure, it is shown by dahsed lines in the Chimera, How can I hide them or turn them off. I am deliberately trying to show different regions that are not sequentially contiguous. Thanks very much, Vijay
