[Chimera-users] The command like volume zone in X

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Fengwei,
There is a "vop zone" command in Chimera similar to "volume zone" in ChimeraX.  Same function, but the keywords and syntax are different, see

<http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/vop.html#zone>

E.g. something like:

vop zone #2 #0:.a 2

As for your other question, Chimera has a "precessionTilt" option to the "roll" command, but ChimeraX does not have this option currently.  Looking at this kind of motion makes me feel seasick, so I don't use it in my own work.

I hope this helps,
Elaine
