You’d open the structure and then specify the 3 atoms (either by name and residue number, or by selection) in the command.</div><div><br></div><div>For example, commands:</div><div><br></div><div>open 4ysa</div><div>shape triangle atoms :401.A@CU:143.A@ND1:148.A@SD color sky blue</div><div><br></div><div>Or it may be easier for you to use selection instead of giving the residue numbers and atom names. Just Ctrl-click the first atom and then Shift-Ctrl-click the second and third atoms. When you have the three atoms you want selected, you could use this simpler command:</div><div><br></div><div>shape triangle atoms sel color orange</div><div>~select</div><div><br></div><div>… where ~select just clears (deselects) the selection. Details of “shape triangle”:</div><div><<a href="http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/shape.html#triangle" target="_blank">http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/shape.html#triangle</a>></div><div><br></div><div>Example image attached below. The triangles are created as new models listed in the Model Panel, and you can hide or close them. Maybe it would work to make two triangles for your Cu2O2 case.</div><div><br></div><div>A completely different way would be to create a BILD format text file with “.polygon” descriptions of triangles and reading it in to Chimera. However, that is usually more bother since it requires creating a separate file.
