Hi Vincent,
You can report current clip settings in the Log with command:

clip list

<https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/clip.html>

More to your point, however, you can save the current view (which includes the clipping plane positions) with command:

view name myviewname

....of course you can name it something else, and you can have multiple saved views with different names.  Then later in the same session, either not quitting ChimeraX between, or from saving a session file after you saved the view(s) and later restoring the session from the file, you can get back to that view with command:

view myviewname

...there are various command options, like gradually moving to the view over a number of frames as is often done for recording a movie, see the help:
<https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/view.html#name>

I hope this helps,
Elaine

Hi, 

I opened the side view dialog window and adjusted the view planes for a nice figure. 
I would like to save the parameters so I can go back and modify the figure at a later stage, but the setting are not stored in the "view matrix" command. 
Could you tell me which command can save these settings? (I'm using chimeraX 1.5).

Thank you.
Best
Vincent
