Dear Maciej, Sorry, I don't think there is a way to move the 3D labels in Z (closer/farther) with the mouse. To use the "move labels" mouse mode, you would need to turn the whole view and move the label in X/Y instead. Another possibility is to use the "offset" option of the "label" command, see: <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/label.html#options> As far as I know, only Chimera had a way to move the 3D labels in Z with the mouse, not ChimeraX. I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C. Meng, Ph.D. UCSF Chimera(X) team Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry University of California, San Francisco

Dear ChimeraX staff, I have a problem with moving 3D labels. I would like to move them in the z-axis, but I cannot find how to do it. My version is 1.2.5. In some earlier release it could be done with the right mouse button + ctrl, but it seems to be changed. I have also tried to find a solution in archive messages, but the hint to click favourites and preferences also appears to be no longer an issue. Under favourites, there are no preferences or mouse settings. I would be extremely grateful for any suggestions. Kind regards, Maciej
