Hi Chinthaka, This chimerax-users@cgl.ucsf.edu address is the one to use for asking questions about ChimeraX.
ChimeraX does not have wireframe-style display of atomic structures, but you can show all atoms/bonds (or any subset of them) as sticks and make the sticks as thin as you want. For example, commands:
preset sticks hide solvent size stickRadius 0.1
...or instead of "preset sticks" you could use "style stick"
See help for these commands: https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/preset.html https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/show.html https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/size.html https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/style.html
You can also do these things with the menu or Toolbar icons, it would just take a lot more typing to explain.
I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C. Meng, Ph.D. UCSF Chimera(X) team Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry University of California, San Francisco

Hello,
Can you tell me how to draw pdb models using the ‘wireframe’ mode?
Thanks! -chinthaka
