It isn't a built-in function currently, but you can open the attached BILD file in Chimera (just use File... Open) to show the axes: X red, Y yellow, Z blue.<br>
<br>
The BILD format is very simple. In fact, the file just contains the following plain text:<br>
<br>
.translate 0.0 0.0 0.0<br>
.scale 5<br>
.sphere 0 0 0 0.5<br>
.color 1 0 0<br>
.arrow 0 0 0 5 0 0<br>
.color 1 1 0<br>
.arrow 0 0 0 0 5 0<br>
.color 0 0 1<br>
.arrow 0 0 0 0 0 5<br>
<br>
You can edit the file if you want to change the offset (the .translate line) or the size (the .scale line). BILD format is described here: <<a href="http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/bild.html" target="_blank">http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/bild.html</a>><br>
<br>
I hope this helps,<br>
Elaine<br>
