Thanks that is a useful function I hadn't explored. However, how to you un-tile to go back to a previously aligned system? Thanks, Jim

Hello Sir / Madam

Good Evening

My name is Bharat Yadav and I am perusing Master's Degree in Bioinformatics from Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agriculrual University - Hisar (India). I am working here on Molecular Modeling. With a long time I am using UCSF Chimera. It is the one of wonderful Molecular visiualization software haivng some very peculear features. Respected Sir / Madam, In my present work I am facing a bit problem. Hoping form you to help regarding this. My problem is as follows. I have generated five models of protein. when I open all these modles these were overlapping each other. I want to view all these five models in a single panel non overlapping. I mean I want to view these 3D models in panel as follows ----------------------------------------- | | | | | | | Model 1 | Model 2 | | | | ----------------------------------------- | | | | | | | Model 3 | Model 4 | | | | ----------------------------------------- | | | | | | | Model 5 | Model 6 | | | | -----------------------------------------

Hope that you now easily understand what actually I want. Please Help me regarding this and mail me its solution or steps or commands for this task. Please free to ask any question.

Thanks in anticipation

Warm regards from Bharat Yadav

Hi Bharat,

Thanks for your kind words! I think you just need to use "tile" in the Model Panel. Open Model Panel (Favorites... Model Panel). In there, choose all 5 models on the left side. Then, on the right, change the menu from "frequently used" to "infrequently used" - now there should be a "tile" button on the right - try using that.

I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C. Meng, Ph.D. meng@cgl.ucsf.edu UCSF Computer Graphics Lab and Babbitt Lab Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry University of California, San Francisco http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/home/meng/index.html
