Hi, What is the ChimeraX equivalent to the Focus command in Chimera? I have selected a portion of a structure, and would like to bring it into focus without dragging it into view. Also Focus would automatically set the selection as the pivot point. Best wishes, Luca Luca Pellegrini, PhD Department of Biochemistry University of Cambridge Cambridge CB2 1GA lp212@cam.ac.uk

Hi Luca, Tristan is right of course, see "view" and its "cofr" option: <http://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/view.html#initial> I just wanted to add that there's an icon to do this in a single click, in the Graphics tab of the toolbar: <http://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/tools/graphics.html> I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

The view command in ChimeraX serves the same purpose as focus in Chimera — it centers the display on the selected atoms or models.
