Selection command for atoms in different models
Hi, Is there a way to select residues from 2 different models using a single line of command? For example, I want to select residues 230 and 260 of Model 0 and residues 232 and 262 of Model 1. I then want to display the side chains, color magenta, then color by heteroatom. This is what my current (annoying) workflow is: select #0:230,260 Actions --> Color --> Magenta Actions --> Color --> By heteroatom select #1:232,262 Actions --> Color --> Magenta Actions --> Color --> By heteroatom I know I can do the following instead: disp #0:230,260 color magenta #0:230,260 color byhet #0:230,260 Repeat for #1:232,262 ...but it doesn't really save any time. I want to select all 4 residues at once without having to ctrl + shift + click on them all. Please tell me there's a way! Thank you, Annie
Hi Annie, Sure, you could just select them all with command: select #0:230,260 #1:232,262 You can also use commands like the following without bothering to select first, e.g.: color magenta #0:230,260 #1:232,262 color byhet #0:230,260 #1:232,262 Also what I like to do sometimes is just make an alias for a set of residues, e.g. commands: alias myres #0:230,260 #1:232,262 show myres color magenta myres color byhet myres Command-line atom specification: <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/frameatom_spec.html> alias command: <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/alias.html> I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.
