Hi, Often I want to select or hover over (to reveal tooltip info) atoms located under a transparent surface or mesh. It is much less common to want to select a volume with ctrl-click in my experience. Would it be possible to add a modifier (e.g. Shift or alt/option) for volume selection, and otherwise default to selection of/interaction with the atomic model(s)? I feel like since ChimeraX deals mostly with these two data types, often in combination, having a clear way to distinguish interaction with them would be useful - it adds one extra step to be able to see atoms under a mesh, go to the volume viewer and turn of the required volume or volumes before selecting/identifying them - what do you think? Cheers Oli
