I have seen similar bad layout from the tile command. If I open 3 copies of a model the tile them it works, then rotate just one and try to tile several times and it gives all kinds of weird wrong positions.

open 1a0m ; open 1a0m ; open 1a0m

tile

turn y 140 model #1

tile

I've made a bug report for this and hope to fix it soon.

Hi,
I want to create an image of multiple volumes that are tiled
horizontally. However, when I run the command "tile columns 6" the
volumes get arranged in a step-like manner (attached image). I do not
see this happen in chimera so I am wondering if this expected
behaviour in ChimeraX? I am on UCSF ChimeraX version: 1.2.5
(2021-05-24) on the M1 MacBookPro, MacOS 11.6.

Best,
Pranav
