Hi George, How are you changing the radius? Using the "size" command? If you don't specify "sel" in the command it will apply to everything: size stickRadius 0.3 ... applies to everything. size sel stickRadius 0.3 ... applies to current selection. Within a single atomic model, different bonds can have different stick radii, but a single “stick” radius is used for all singletons (single atom without bonds) and will be adjusted if any singleton in that model is specified. <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/size.html> I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

This may be trivial but the answer eludes me. In a given example, I’ve been selecting residues, set the style and deselect. Then select the bound ligand and again set a different style for it, for example size stickRadius 0.3. Somehow, the 0.3 radius translates to previously selected ligands.
Thank you
