Dear ChimeraX users,

I just subscribed so apologies if this has been asked before.

When is type the command: color zone #2 near #1/A distance 5 sharpEdges false farColor blue

I have the volume #2 in blue with chain A colored by atom type: i.e. with carbons in sand, oxygens in red, nitrogens in blue.

I tried to follow the tutorial on youtube, downloading the model and emdb like in the tutorial, and it does work like the tutorial, meaning colored by chain.

I am wodering what is going on and how to fix it? I've seen this behavior for my protein, on a PDB refined from Phenix, or from a download from the rcsb.
I don't see anything special on the PDB, all the atoms are listed normally.


Is it possible to assign a specific color per chain using this command?


Thank you for your help.
best
Vincent
