Thank you Elaine. That works. Can similar actions be done with the 'distance' command?

Hi ChimeraX Community, When I create pseudobonds or distance measurements between atoms in ChimeraX, all of the pseudobonds/distances are grouped together. Is there a way to organize them into separate groups or subgroups so that I can modify their properties (e.g., color, radius, labels) independently? Thanks for your help.
