Hi I am making a figure using a pdb and a density map in chimeraX1.6.1. each time I do that I have coloured arrows representing an axis that is in the middle. how do I get rid of them. I am sure it is trivial but I just could not find the answers in the manual. thanks François -- François Ferron, Ph.D. francois.ferron@univ-amu.fr @F2erron@fediscience.org Laboratoire CNRS - UMR 7257 (AFMB) AFMB - POLYTECH Case 925 163, Av de Luminy 13288 Marseille Cedex 09 France & European Virus Bioinformatics Center, Leutragraben 1, 07743 Jena, Germany ######################################### Success is not final, failure is not fatal; it's the courage to continue that counts.

Hi François, Maybe it's turned on by ISOLDE? I don't think it is turned on by default if you just open a density map and a PDB. Regardless of how it got displayed, however, I think you can turn it off with the "cofr" command "showPivot" option, command: cofr showPivot false See <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/cofr.html> I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Hi Elaine Thank you so much that command line worked fine. You made my day! All the best François Le 13/09/2023 à 18:01, Elaine Meng a écrit :
