Hi Peter, This works differently in ChimeraX. There is no "inactivation for motion" of models in ChimeraX. Instead you use different "mouse modes," function assignments to touchpad or mouse that translate or rotate only the clicked model or the selected models or atoms. Different mouse modes can be assigned to right mouse button or touchpad equivalent by clicking an icon in the Right Mouse tab of the toolbar across the top, and to other buttons (alone or in combination with modifier keys like Shift) using the "mousemode" command. For a more detailed explanation, see "selective manipulation" and links therein: <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/ui.html#selective> Scanning the User Guide index is definitely recommended before using chatGPT... the latter frequently makes up ridiculously wrong instructions that will waste your time. <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/index.html> I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Dear team, Classic Chimera had a command to turn off specific models, allowing manipulation of the other model(s). What is the command for that in ChimeraX? ChatGPT gave as answer “model toggle off #1” but that appears to be wrong. Thank you, Peter
