However, with our current focus on implementing Chimera 2, it may be some time before this feature gets implemented (in Chimera 1 <i>or</i> Chimera 2!).</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Perhaps there's an easier workflow? Select all the parts you want put into the new model, invert the selection, delete the unwanted parts, and then combine into a new model. You may want to save a session before the delete step, depending on what you want to do with the new model relative to the old models.</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span> I hope this helps.</div><div><br></div><div>--Eric</div><br><div apple-content-edited="true">
