Yes, I suspected that it was not available, just wanted to make sure that I got it right. By the way, do you happen to know why B-DNA built in Chimera has a slight tilt/rotation, i.e. it is not exactly vertical? Sometimes one wants to import the structure into 3D software like Blender to make further processing and animation possible and then it would have been convenient to have it perfectly vertical.

Hi Andreas,
ChimeraX does not yet have DNA building, so for now you would need to use Chimera for that task. We hope to have it in ChimeraX in the future, but I cannot say exactly when.
Best,
Elaine
