Dear ChimeraX team, I want to select only the sidechains of a protein in order to visually outline them for a figure. This isn't an issue if cartoons are turned off, because I can select the only sidechains I want and use the command: `sel sel & sidechain` and I outline them in a nice way with... `graphics sel col black width 2` However, if cartoons are turned on then this won't select just the sidechain, but select a portion of the cartoon backbone too. I'm not sure how to specify this. Ideally I want a transparent cartoon with opaque sidechains, and then have only the sidechains selected. Please see the images attached for examples of what I'm referring to. Many thanks, James [image: sidechain2.png] [image: sidechain1.png] -- *James Lingford* | Research Officer, Greening Lab Department of Microbiology, Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute Monash University Google Scholar <https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=4KSRHTUAAAAJ&hl=en> | Website <https://www.jameslingford.com/>
