Hello,
Apologies if this already exists, but I'd like to suggest a new option to the show/hide command:
show /spec/ toggle
which would behave like the toggle option of volume (one of my favorite chimeraX features by far), but would work on atomic models. Within the spec, anything currently shown would become hidden, and vice versa.
Cheers, Alexis
Hi Alexis, At least without the spec part, you can do it with command (if you don’t mind losing any current selection):
sel ##display; hide sel models; show ~sel models; ~sel
If you really need the spec part, you could make an alias, e.g. in your startup commands (see Preferences) http://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/preferences.html http://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/alias.html
alias toggle sel ##display; hide sel models; show ~sel models; ~sel alias stoggle sel ##display; hide sel & $1 models; show ~sel & $1 models; ~sel
http://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/alias.html http://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/atomspec.html#attributes
… then in ChimeraX you could use
toggle — or if you want to use a specifier — stoggle <spec>
The <spec> could not be selection-based (e.g. “sel”), however. I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C. Meng, Ph.D. UCSF Chimera(X) team Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry University of California, San Francisco

I added this ChimeraX request to our database
https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/trac/ChimeraX/ticket/2186#ticket https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/trac/ChimeraX/ticket/2186#ticket
It would require changing a lot of code since many different things can be displayed, atoms, bonds, pseudobonds, cartoons, surfaces, models.
