Hi Elaine, I was wondering whether it is possible to show the axis guides at the bottom left or bottom right side of the screen just like in VMD? -- Prathvi Singh, Research Fellow, Department of Biological Sciences & Bioengineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur-208016
Hi Prathvi, Not exactly, but you can open a file that contains the axes as a model -- please see this previous post: <https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/pipermail/chimera-users/2018-July/014859.html> (That file can also be opened in ChimeraX, for anybody interested in trying our newer program.) I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C. Meng, Ph.D. UCSF Chimera(X) team Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry University of California, San Francisco

Another user's question just reminded me that in ChimeraX (but not Chimera) you can show axis crosshairs at the current center of rotation with command: cofr showPivot true - or - cofr showPivot 5,.25 (where the second one specifies a bigger size for the crosshairs). See "cofr" help: <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/cofr.html> Apologies if it's too off-topic to respond with a feature that's only in ChimeraX, not Chimera. Best, Elaine

Thanks a lot Elaine. No need for apologies at all. I am glad that the shortcomings of chimera have been addressed in chimeraX. On Tue, Mar 22, 2022 at 9:48 PM Elaine Meng <meng@cgl.ucsf.edu> wrote:
