Hi Gabor, Sorry, ChimeraX does not yet have a “fly” command.
However, the “view" command should work to smoothly transition between two views. (The “fly” command would only be different than “view” for transitioning along a path of more than two views.) I’ve used it many times.
I’m guessing that the problem is that it doesn’t make sense to use “view” as a perframe action. Instead you just put the number of frames for the transition directly in the view command, for example:
view pos1 view pos2 80
…for an 80-frame transition between previously saved views named pos1 and pos2. As you probably know, the views are saved using the “view name” command. I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Dear developers, I’ve seen that two years ago the fly command from Chimera was not implemented in ChimeraX. Is it implemented now? Or does ChimeraX have a similar function? I tried the view command inside the perframe function, unfortunately this didn’t result in a smooth transition between two named views. The only option I have now is to translate, zoom and rotate the scene with the individual commands, however this is quite tedious to set. Best regards, Gabor
