Hi Fengwei,
I added the "wobble" command to ChimeraX today that makes a figure 8 motion. It will be in tonight's ChimeraX builds -- nightly builds are listed at the bottom of the downloads web page.
The wobble command is just a shorthand for the turn command and the turn command now has two new options: wobble that controls speed and is the number of frames for a complete figure 8, and wobbleAspect that controls the amplitude of the bobbing motion as a fraction of the side to side motion (default 0.3). The wobble command uses a default cycle of 136 frames per second which at 60 frames/second rendering is a little more than 2 seconds per figure 8. The wobble command makes the default amplitude 15 degrees.

Hi Fengwei, There is a "vop zone" command in Chimera similar to "volume zone" in ChimeraX. Same function, but the keywords and syntax are different, see
<http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/vop.html#zone http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/vop.html#zone>
E.g. something like:
vop zone #2 #0:.a 2
As for your other question, Chimera has a "precessionTilt" option to the "roll" command, but ChimeraX does not have this option currently. Looking at this kind of motion makes me feel seasick, so I don't use it in my own work.

I hope this helps, Elaine

Dear Developer, I am wodering if there is a command of Chimera can achieve the same function like "volume zone" in ChimeraX? I tried the command "vol zone #2 near #0:.a range 2", but the chimera always said "unknow keyword #2"~ Another thing is that I wonder if there is a command of ChimeraX can achieve the same function like "turn z 2 360 precess 20" in Chimera (to achieve the Wobble motion / "wiggle-rock" motion, like nutation in pymol)~ The I tried 1.14, 1.15 and the latest daily built versions of Chimera. The ChimeraX version I used is 1.0, Many thanks! Best, Fengwei
