You can also simply click the link in the ChimeraX Log panel assembly table after opening the structure to make the full capsid.

Hi Ana,
ChimeraX does not have a Multiscale Models tool like the one in Chimera.  However, you can use the ChimeraX "sym" command, e.g. something like commands:

open 1hqk
hide solvent
style stick
sym #1 assembly 1 surfaceOnly true resolution 10

... but you should look at the "sym" command help because there are lots of options, and you might decide to use different options or different values of the options.  Use command "help sym" to see the help page included in your download, or see the copy at our website:

I hope this helps,
Elaine

Hi,
I am having some difficulties in using xchimera, and I would like to ask you if you could help me.
I want to make a representation of a virus-like nanoparticle using the pdb 1HQK. I have searched in the tutorial of xchimera but I could not find the general instructions, but I found them in the tutorial of chimera (multiscale model), however, the options are not present in my installation xchimera (and also in my installation of chimera). Then, I thought that maybe you could tell me how to make it in xchimera.

Thank you very much for your attention.
Kind regards,
Ana
