question about ChimeraX Hide Dust Feature

Hi I just downloaded the new ChimeraX, and was wondering where the Hide Dust option is located. I cannot find it. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi Philip, It’s command “surface dust”: <http://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/surface.html#sop> Sorry, we don’t yet have a ChimeraX documentation search to make it easier to find stuff like that. Google “chimerax hide dust” does find it, but it wouldn’t necessarily work as well for everything yoj’d like to find! I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Hi Philip, There is no GUI (tool dialog) yet. There are options so you should check the details in the manual page for what you really want, but here are some simple examples: open 9333 fromDatabase emdb surface dust #1 surf undust #1 surf dust #1 size 2 metric “size rank" … if your map is open as model #1. Do not cut and paste the example with quotation marks because the mail app may have changed them to fancy quotation marks. Instead type plain quotation marks from your keyboard (single or double doesn’t matter). <http://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/surface.html#sop> I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.
