[Chimera-users] Generating symmetry-related molecule

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Virginia,
I definitely tried it myself before sending the message, but in a much  
newer version (daily build Jan 9, 2009!).

However, I just now tried it in both 1.2540 and the most recent  
production release 1.3 (Dec 2008), and in both of those versions the  
command works either with or without the pound signs (#).

The error message sounds like you have additional models besides the  
DNA structure with model number 0.  If so, I think the command would  
work if you close those, use sym, and then reopen or regenerate them  
as possible.

You may want to update to a newer version to get other new features,  
but my experiments suggest it will not affect this particular problem.

Best,
Elaine
