Hello, Many basic commands can apply to specific residues only (hide, show, color, display style, ...), you just have to say in the command which parts of the structure you want to affect.
How to specify atoms or other items in commands: https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/atomspec.html
You could first hide everything and then show just the residues you want. Also depends if you want to show ribbons or the specific atoms. If both, then here is an example:
hide target ar show :1-200 target ar
The ":" means residue number, as explained in the page linked above. In the target option, "a" is for atoms and "r" is for ribbon, as explained the "hide"/"show" help. https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/show.html

Hello,
Do you have any command that displays a selected region only?
For example, I have a protein structure AA1 to AA300. I only want to display AA100 to AA200.
Thanks!
