Hi Lorena, Atomic models, regardless of whether they are models, submodels, subsubmodels ... are "structures" -- you just need to specify which ones to color, if there are other models also present that you don't want to color. E.g. if you have models #1-3 but only want to color submodels of #1, something like: rainbow #1 structures palette blue:orange ...or to act on specific submodels #1.5 to #1.23 only, something like: rainbow #1.5-23 structures palette blue:orange See rainbow documentation: <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/color.html#sequential> I'm going from your description that these ligand positions are really submodels. If this was opened as a trajectory in ChimeraX, the commands above would not work since the time steps are not different models (or submodels). I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Hi all,
I have a model that contains 256 submodels of a ligand across trajectory frames. I would like to colour the individual models using a palette (e.g., blue:orange) so that the time progression across frames is depicted in colour. Is there a way to assign palette range to submodels?
Best wishes, Lorena
