Hi Elaine, thanks for the quick reply. my usual routine with 3D models involves loading tens of them, match them (now align :P) and then "tile", so yes its a bit tedious. I'll keep doing this in "old" chimera, and look forward for the advances in chimeraX. thanks again for the tool!!

Hi Francois, Not a dumb question, but sorry, there is no “tile” equivalent in ChimeraX currently. If you don’t have too many structures, you could first superimpose them all in the middle, zoom out somewhat (“zoom” command) and then translate them individually up/down (y axis) and left/right (x axis) with the “move” command, but it would be a little tedious and require some trial and error as to spacing. It may be useful to save/restore positions with the “view” command.

I hope this helps, Elaine

Hi, sorry for the stupid question, but I spent quite some time searching for
it.
Is there some alternative to the "tile" command in chimera X? thanks! great tool :) francois
