I am working with a protein/nucleic acid complex. When I start the program with “chimera file.pdb” the ribbon representation of the structure is shown. Also, a plank representation of the nucleic acid is shown. I have to hide the ribbon and select “Actions -> Atoms/Bonds -> Show” to see the atoms. Can someone tell me how to change the startup options so that the ribbon and planks are not automatically generated and that the atoms/bonds are shown by default?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>Thanks!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>John<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#C00000'>John M.
