Hi Elaine,
Thanks for a quick answer. The first two options do what I wanted. For the third option, assign the “centre’ function to mouse, I do not see this option in the right mouse menu. What am I missing?
Best,
Mirek

Hi Mirek,
You could try "view" with a specifier for the atom or residue of interest, e.g.
show :43
view :43
view :43@cb

Or, you could select the atom(s) or residue and then use menu Actions... Focus

Or, you could use the "center" mouse mode function that centers on whatever you click with the assigned button:

I hope this helps,

Hi,
I just started using ChimeraX and am confronted with how to do a simple task, namely, to placer a specific atom at the centre of the screen. What is the replacement for the command “centre” in Chimera?
Thanks,
Mirek
