Hi Alex,

  I added an option to the ChimeraX view zalign command so you can use two sets of atoms, for example,

view zalign ligand inFrontOf ~ligand

Here is another example showing chain B in front of a multi-chain structure #1

view zalign /B infrontof #1

It will be in tomorrow's ChimeraX builds dated September 6, 2023.

Hello everyone,

In old Chimera, I was able to center the ligand to the foreground of view using "align ligand ~ligand" no matter the orientation, if the ligand is in view or not. Is there a comparable way in ChimeraX? The same command gives "expected a keyword" and using "view ligand" or "view sel-residues zalign sel" does not bring it to foreground if it's behind something else.

Thanks,
Alex
