I'd say "https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=chimerax+distance" but the resulting links don't work for me. But using google.com directly does. The top two links are ChimeraX's distance command and the Distances tool. So https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/distance.html and https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/tools/distances.html. Using the Distances tool might be the easiest way to start. If you click on Create, it tells you to select two atoms. So do that and then click on Create. You will see the corresponding distance command, that you could type in, shown in the Log. The documentation gives several other ways to show distances. I recommend learning to read the documentation :-). An aside, you can toggle whether the links in the Log take you to the documentation for the command or repeat the command, by right-mouse clicking on the Log and selecting Executable Command LInks.

Dear ChimeraX users !
I need to draw several distance vectors on the 3D structure. Could you provide me with an example of the commands that could automatically draw the distances between two selected atoms with some basic labels on it ?
Many thanks in advance
Enrico
