Hello Cameron, If you mean you are showing atoms (which could also be protein, etc.) you can increase stick thickness, ball size, or sphere size with the "size" command. <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/size.html> You can change atom style (stick, ball, sphere) with the "style" command or the Molecule Display icons in the toolbar across the top. <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/style.html> <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/tools/moldisplay.html> To show/hide atoms you can use the Molecule Display icons, or presets (menu or commands), or the "show" and "hide" commands. <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/tools/moldisplay.html> <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/menu.html#presets> <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/show.html> I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Hello,

I am using chimeraX to visualize a ligand. I am familiar with the commands to increase protein thickness ('cartoon style protein thickness') but how can I do this for a ligand or other molecule?

Really appreciate the help,
