Hello, Is there any way to renumber maps in a session so subsequent maps open together and in order instead of replacing the numbers of maps removed from the session? Best, Dominique
Hi Dominique, In Chimera you can specify the model number at time of opening if you use the "open" command. For example: open #5 ~/Desktop/myfile.mrc ...or if you want to use the file browser, omit the filename: open #3 ...and then the file browser will appear for choosing the file interactively. See "open" manual page: <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/open.html> ChimeraX has a "rename" command that lets you change the model name and number after opening, but Chimera does not have such a command. <http://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/rename.html> I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Hi Dominique, We should have a setting so new models always get an id number one larger than the largest id number in use instead of filling in gaps left by closed models. This has annoyed me many times too, when I open groups of models and their id number are not contiguous. We are not developing Chimera, but I've make a ticket for this in our ChimeraX feature request database. https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/trac/ChimeraX/ticket/3228#ticket Tom
