Hi Józef, Well, the whole purpose of the distance monitors is to show distances, so even if you delete the label from the current frame they will reappear for other frames. Instead: if you just wanted to draw a bunch of pseudobonds without labels, the way to do it is to create a pseudobond file in a text editor (rows just specify the pairs of atoms you want to draw lines between). E.g. containing lines something like: /A:5@sd /A:1@he1 The file format is described here in more detail, including how to specify the initial color, radius, and number of dashes (which you could also change with other methods after the fact): <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/pseudobonds.html#pbfiles> You could just close or delete the distances, or just hide them if you want to have them for later analysis. I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C. Meng, Ph.D. UCSF Chimera(X) team Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry University of California, San Francisco

Hi,
Is there an easy way to hide distance labels during the playback of an MD trajectory? Even if I delete or hide the labels in one frame they get generated when next frame is loaded. I tried to include hiding/deleting the labels command in perframe but they flash on before they are removed. Ultimately, I would like to record a movie where only the pseudobonds are shown but not the labels.
Thank you, Józef
