Greetings! I've never asked a question, but I need to expedite solving this issue, so thought the time is now. :-)

(I should also add, thank you for Chimera and then Chimera X, it has been so beneficial to my research and presentations!)

Several months ago I used rainbow to color a range of residues on my structure. Now I am trying to recreate it on a different model and I can't seem to recapture the detail where every residue is delineated versus a continuous gradation across the selected region. I've searched and read several help emails etc, and maybe if I was a more expert user I would understand this from the usage/help entries about rainbow, but alas, I cannot recreate it. Please let me know how I did this??

Thanks for any help!

Cheers,

Bec

Here is the past way that I want to recreate:

*notice how each residue of tube helix has a separate color whereas the next image has no separations

And here is the way I can only seem to get the program to do today:
