Label all atoms except hydrogens

How would I label all atoms in a structure without labeling hydrogen atoms? I'm trying to label a small molecule with about 60 non-hydrogen atoms.

Hi Mike, There are several possible routes to achieving this, but a concise one is the command: label ~ element.H where the "~" is a logical NOT. <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/atom_spec.html#combina...> Or, you could label all atoms and then unlabel hydrogens, or do the menu equivalents of either of those routes. I hope this helps, Elaine ---------- Elaine C.

For future ref, even more concise: label ~H maybe you already knew that and just wanted to use something more self explanatory -- if so, I never sent this! --E On Oct 21, 2010, at 2:14 PM, Elaine Meng wrote:

Elaine and Eric, Thanks. Works great. I don't see the menu options but that's okay as I'm fairly comfortable with the command line anyway. P.S. don't get the reply-to header comment.

Hi Mike, The menu approaches would involve some selection steps and then applying the action, e.g. Select... Chemistry... element... H Select... Invert (all models) Actions.. Label... name Best, Elaine ---------- Elaine C.

(Eric had meant to reply to just me, but I'd set the "reply-to" field to the whole list, thus the whole list got to see it)
