Hi everyone,
I am currently teaching a crystallographic course and this year I am introducing ChimeraX for the first time (previous years we have used PyMol). I still am in the middle of my personal transiston from PyMol to ChimeraX and potentially I am still stuck too much in the "PyMol"-way to do it, but I still miss a couple of commands. Could anyone help with that?
1) Analog to Reinit I generate all my publication figures with scripts (now cxc). The Reinit command in Pymol, always gave me a fresh enviroment, however the closest analog I found "Close" only closes the current model. All other settings (Lightning etc.) are kept and only reset after closing ChimeraX. Therefore, I do not get the same results from my script, if I run it multiple times...
2) Create object Is there a way to copy a selection of atoms into a new molecule - for complicated visualisations?
Thanks so far to the developers - I love more things on ChimeraX than I miss 👍 Best, Jan
