suggestion: let user specify id of coordset generated by morph command

Hi team, For convenience, especially when scripting, it would be good if the morph command would accept an "id" argument (much like the open command has "id" or combine has "modelId"). This would let the user specify the model id of the coordset created by morph. Current behavior is that the first available (lowest numerical) id is used, which is not easy to keep track of when scripting. Cheers, Alexis

Hi Alexis, Ok, I added a modelId option to the morph command to allow you to specify the id of the morph model. It will be in the June 11, 2025 daily build or newer. It won't be in the ChimeraX 1.10 release which we hope to make later this week. morph #1,2 modelId #5 Tom
