Dear ChimeraX Developers,

I'm working on visualizing a protein-ligand complex with potential π-stacking interactions. To measure the distance between the centroids of two benzene rings (one in the protein residue, one in the ligand), I used the following workflow:

1. define centroid1
2. define centroid2
3. distance centroid1 centroid2 (to measure and show the distance between the centroids)

My issue: When I try to hide centroid1 centroid2 to generate a cleaner image showing only the distance measurement (the dashed line and label), hiding the centroid points also automatically hides the distance object.

Question: How can I hide only the centroid markers (points) while keeping the distance measurement (the dashed line and its label) visible for visualization?

Is there a specific command or GUI manipulation to separate these visual elements? I'd appreciate any guidance on resolving this.

Thank you for your help and your excellent tool.

Best regards,

Nan
