Hi Matthias, I not familiar with "replace fragment", so I have a few questions. Is it always the same number of residues in source and target? Is it always polymeric residues, and the same type of polymer (amino acids, nucleic acids)? I assume you have to use the backbone conformation of the target. Are the side chain angles preserved in any way? It's possible this could be implemented as sort of a macro around multiple swapaa/swapna commands.

Dear ChimeraX team,
Thanks a lot for developing the amazing tool that is ChimeraX! I use it extensively for model building, and would like to request a functionality to replace a residue selection in one model from residues in another model (similar to what is possible in coot via the replace fragment functionality). I am aware that this currently possible by a combination of delete, combine, and changechains, but it would be great if this could be shortcutted.
Many thanks in advance, Matthias _______________________________________________ ChimeraX-users mailing list ChimeraX-users@cgl.ucsf.edu mailto:ChimeraX-users@cgl.ucsf.edu Manage subscription: https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/mailman/listinfo/chimerax-users https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/mailman/listinfo/chimerax-users
