[Chimera-users] [Dock-fans] How to get the charged mol for the ligand

I forgot, there's actually a fourth thing you can do:  change the  
atom type directly.  Select the oxygen atom and open the command line  
(Favorites->Command Line) and type:

	setattr a idatmType O3 sel

which will set the selected atom's "idatmType" attribute to sp3  
oxygen ("O3").

Do this before hydrogens are added.
