Hello Altaira, Those youtube tutorials must be showing Chimera. ChimeraX is a different program from Chimera and does not have a Ribbon Style Editor. In ChimeraX you can change ribbon (cartoon) width, thickness, height with the "cartoon style" command. There is no graphical interface currently. See the ChimeraX "cartoon style" help: <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/cartoon.html#style> Example command: cartoon style protein width 4.5 thickness 2.5 I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

I tried the NIH3D presets to prepare my structure for 3D printing. The large size of the complex, however, makes those settings still too lacey for the NIH 3D printing service. I need to edit the ribbon sizes. The youtube tutorials from the NIH 3D Printing Exchange are 7-10 years old and their instructions to open the Ribbon Style Editor no longer match chimerax. Has this feature been renamed and moved? Thank you, Altaira Dearborn
