How to get just model name
by Alexandra Zahradnikova 09 Jul '25

09 Jul '25

Dear All I would like to extract just the model name (as a variable) from a model, to write into an output file with other data. However I am not able to find in the help how to do it - I can output all model information ("Model info") to the log but not to see just model name. Is that possible? Thanks in advance Best regards Sasha

XYZ basis vectors
by Jan Hofmann 09 Jul '25

09 Jul '25

Hello, how can I show the XYZ basis vectors somewhere next to my structure in ChimeraX? I found the .bild datei but I don't want the arrows in my structure, rather outside, next to it, like in Crystalmaker. It would be really helpful to have the basis vectors to compare orientations with other images. Thanks a lot.

Changing bond color in Chimerax
by khaja faisal tarique 08 Jul '25

Hi I am trying to color different bonds with different colors in ChimeraX, but when I select one bond and change its color so it gets applied to all bonds. Is there any trick to do that ? What I am doing is the Cltr+Bond to select a bond then changing color to that selected bond. But I do not why the change is applied to all other bonds. Any help would be appreciated Faisal --

Coloring an Isosurface Using a Second Cube File in ChimeraX
by mohyeddine.taleb 08 Jul '25

08 Jul '25

Hi, I would like to ask how to color a given isosurface (built with the commands open cube1.cube and volume #1 level 0.02 style surface) using the values from a second property stored in another cube file, cube2.cube. Please note that the two cube files describe exactly the same grid. I have also attached an example showing the interaction between two water molecules. Best regards, Mohyeddine Taleb

Displaying atomic serial numbers
by Michael Patzschke 08 Jul '25

08 Jul '25

Hello, I have a seemingly trivial problem. I have a small molecule and I want to display the serial number of all atoms. Under “Action->Labels->Atoms->Name” I can get atom names, but these are not what I want. I want the atoms numbered as they appear in the .xyz file. Is this possible? Kind regards, Michael

Boltz-1 data privacy
by Dario Passos 03 Jul '25

03 Jul '25

Dear ChimeraX team, I have a question regarding data privacy when using the Boltz-1 structure prediction tool within ChimeraX. Is the input or output data temporarily or permanently stored, logged, or shared in any way by UCSF, ColabFold, or any third-party services? Is there an option to ensure that all data remains strictly local and is not stored externally? Thank you, Dario
