Hello Dr. Tweten, Thanks for the feedback, but could you clarify a bit: did you mean a graphical interface to morphing between conformations of atomic structures, like the "Morph Conformations" tool in Chimera? The "Animation" tool in Chimera is different: it doesn't do morphing, but it is a graphical interface to making movies, and it does various gradual transitions like fading in and out, and moving a structure from one place to another without changing its conformation. Chimera tools... Morph Conformations: <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/morph/morph.html> Animation: <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/animation/framean...> I wasn't sure which tool you meant, or whether you possibly meant both. Thanks, Elaine ----- Elaine C. Meng, Ph.D. UCSF Chimera(X) team Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry University of California, San Francisco

Date: November 20, 2020 at 10:05:00 AM PST To: "chimerax-users@cgl.ucsf.edu" <chimerax-users@cgl.ucsf.edu> Hi, I have used Chimera for years for my publications and for generating animations for lectures and invited talks. I found the animation feature incredibly easy to use and intuitive. However I did not find a similar feature in ChimerX. I read about the Morph command but to me this seems much more complicated to use and much less intuitive. Is there a graphical interface to the Morph command or is this going to remain a command line feature only? I often use the animation feature of chimera to morph between two structural states, which is really easy. Cheers, Rodney Tweten, Ph.D. George Lynn Cross Professor Presidential Professor
