Hi, I'm trying to prepare an image from a structure in which I'd like to hide the backbone atoms except the CAs. When I do this for two neighboring residues however a long bond is drawn between the CAs. How can I hide this without hiding the CAs?

Hi Greg, In the model panel (Favorites->Model Panel) double-click on the model to bring up its attribute inspector, then change "auto-chaining" to "off". Alternatively, you can use the command line (Favorites-

Command Line) and type "setattr m autochain 0".
