Feature question: "Worms" plots in "Render By Attribute"

Dear ChimeraX team, I was wondering if ChimeraX v1.7+ has the function for rendering attributes by "Worms"? For example, rendering B-factors by the thickness of the backbone. I noticed that it's possible in legacy version of Chimera, which I have since installed and generated worm plots with: https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/ImageGallery/framedpecworm.html Is this doable in the latest ChimeraX versions, however?

No worms is not in ChimeraX. It has been on our list of things to do for a few years and I'd say it has a 50% chance of being in ChimeraX 1.8 which will be released about June 2024. Tom

Here is the ChimeraX feature request ticket you can check in the future if you want to see if progress has been made implementing worms. https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/trac/ChimeraX/ticket/9942 Tom
