Hi James, Glad you like ChimeraX! For "define axis" command, you just need to get a newer ChimeraX (go to the daily builds section of the download page, get the current daily build). As mentioned in the Change Log, this feature was added *after* the 1.3 release. <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/trac/ChimeraX/wiki/ChangeLog> I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C. Meng, Ph.D. UCSF Chimera(X) team Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry University of California, San Francisco

Hi I am currently doing some geometric analysis of a protein complex, and was wanting to define certain axis normal to planes I have defined; on the online chimerax documentation there seems to be an option “define axis”, however in my actual chimeraX program, this command doesn’t work, and is not listed under the “help define” command which shows how to define planes and centroids.
I am running ChimeraX version 1.3 (2021-12-08), which I downloaded recently.
Any assistant would be much appreciated 😊
P.S I absolutely love chimeraX!! It is one of the best pieces of software I’ve ever used.
Cheers, James.
