Unable to find the distance between centroid & any other atom in chimeraX

Hi Elaine, I declared the centroid of a tyrosine residue's ring by first selecting its ring members & then using the command: *define centroid sel radius 0.5* Next, when I try to find the distance between the centroid, I get an error whose screenshot I have attached with the email. The command that I am using to find the distance are: *dist sel* dist #1.1 #1.2 (here the distance is being calculated between two centroids) Please help - Prathvi Singh, Research Fellow, Department of Biological Sciences & Bioengineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur-208016

Hi Prathvi, Thanks for reporting this problem. I have fixed it now, and the fix will be in tomorrow's daily build. It would be slightly better if you reported bugs like this using the builtin bug-reporting mechanism (i.e. click "Report Bug" on the dialog you sent an image of) rather then sending it to the whole chimerax-users list. The builtin bug-reporting includes a lot more information about your machine, ChimeraX installation, and the bug itself. It didn't turn out to be needed in this case, but it often is needed. --Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab
