Hi Pranav, We'll look into it. I made a bug-report ticket and put you on the notification list. In the meanwhile, try command: style sphere <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/style.html> (or click the sphere-style icon in the Home or Molecule Display tabs) Best, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Hi Team,
I am working with a huge model (and a correspondingly huge map), which makes the handling on my GPU accelerated desktop an agonisingly frustrating experience. In order to speed up simple (rigid-body) fitting of the map and model, I decided to use the -C-alpha trace of the pdb. However, the pdb gets rendered as a bunch of disconnected dots whereas the same pdb in Chimera is rendered correctly with all things. Is this a normal behaviour for ChimeraX? I could use Chimera, but I prefer the way ChiemraX handles large maps as compared to Chimera. In the absence of a quick fix, would there be a way to increase the size of the atoms?
Best, Pranav
