Dear All, Once we load a PDB in chimera, in Tools-Higher order structure-Unit Cell, if we click "Make copies", the copies of the PDB would be created based on space group, with each copy has a specific # (0,1,2,3..., for example). Will you please let me know is any rule available for how the number of # for each copy of PDB was defined? It seems the PDB copies with consecutive specific # were not most closely related in the Chimera display. I am looking forward to getting a reply from you. Smith

The unit cell copies are not in any sensible order — it is the order of the space group symmetries which come from a table or from the PDB file. Tom
