However, you can get all atoms shown initially if that is what you prefer. If you want that all the time, just change your preferences (Favorites... Preferences, go to "New Molecules" category, set "smart initial display" to false, click Save). If you just want it sometimes and you are using the "open" command inside of Chimera, use "open noprefs." Or, just hide the ribbon after you open the structure if that is what is bothering you, or use the all atoms Preset.<br><br>This is not a bug.
