Hi Ellen
It’s me again… still all the way from Belgium .. well happy new year !
I have a Chimera question for which I could not find the answer online. I want to measure the angle between 2 helices (in fact the angle between the first half and the second half of a kinked helix. I know I can define axes for each of the helices halves (giving a1 and a2), but is there a simple way to ask for computing the angles between a1 and a2
Thanks !!

In the Models panel, use the disclosure triangles and expand until you can see the surface cap model (see attached image) -- there will be a square color well for that model, in the column between the ID and the "eye" (show/hide). Click that color well and it should bring up your system color-editor. Then when you choose the color in that dialog it will replace the electrostatic coloring on the cap.
I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C. Meng, Ph.D. UCSF Chimera(X) team Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry University of California, San Francisco

Hi ChimeraX team.
I’m trying to get an image of a protein whose surface is colored by electrostatic properties but clipped halfway. I would like the clipping plane to be white, not red/blue according to the electrostativ properties of the residues insides the protein. However, I don’t’ seem to be able to do that.
-If I color everything white and then click on Molecular-Display “electrostatic”, the clipping plane also gets the electrostatic coloring <image001.png>
-If I color everything white and then click on Molecular-Display “hydrophobic” or “rainbow” it works, the clipping plane remains white. <image002.png>
Can you help me getting the white clipping plane with electrostatic surface ?
Thanks a bunch
Cedric
