Re: [chimerax-users] Duplicate the model

Forgot to mention that the "copy" command is for atomic models. There is a "volume copy" for volume models such as density maps: https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/volume.html#copy Elaine

Hi Tim, If you just want to change the model number of the existing model (as opposed to having two copies of that model) you can do that by simply double-clicking the model number in the ID column of the Models panel and editing it.

Or, if you prefer using a command, you can do the same thing with the "rename" command "id" option: https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/rename.html

Editing the model name or number directly in the Models panel actually generates the corresponding command and shows it in the Log.

If you wanted two copies of the model, you can use the "copy" command to make another copy with the specified name and model number. https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/combine.html

I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C. Meng, Ph.D. UCSF Chimera(X) team Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry University of California, San Francisco

Hello everybody,

I would like to create copy of the model in the same session but with a different model number. Please, could you suggest how to do that. Thank you.

Best Tim
