Request: can model selection be added to the pull down selection menu?

Hi, I wonder if you could consider adding the option of selecting models to the pull-down selection menu. Right now, only chains (and other things) can be selected but quite often, when reading different models with the same chain names, the only way to select specific chains from a model would be by using the command line where models can be specified. This works of course, but having the model-selection option in the pull-down menu might add flexibility. What do you think ?

Hi Boaz, I thought I'd mention one approach, in case you didn't know about it: "select" is one of the functions listed in the right side of the Model Panel. You could use "Configure..." on the Model Panel to make model selection what happens when you double-click the line for that model. After that, you need only open the Model Panel (or leave it up) and double-click different lines to select different models. Best, Elaine On Oct 10, 2006, at 2:48 PM, Boaz Shaanan wrote:

Hi Boaz, I intend to make the chain-selection menu change to using rollovers when multiple models have that chain, but haven't gotten to it yet. I'll increase the priority of getting that done. It won't make it into the upcoming release since the code is now frozen for testing. Perhaps the release after this next one... --Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab pett@cgl.ucsf.edu http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu On Oct 10, 2006, at 2:48 PM, Boaz Shaanan wrote:
