[Chimera-users] Changue the identifier model number of a structure or marker set

[Elaine Meng]

As Tom Goddard mentioned earlier, it is usually more convenient or efficient to have all this setup already done in a Chimera session.  Then you just open the session, then run the script with the movie content (instead of re-running all this setup every time you use your script).
