There is no way to prevent the connectivity search without editing Chimera’s code. If you are willing to edit the code, change line 80 of <your Chimera>/share/ReadXYZ/__init__.py from:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>connectMolecule(m)</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">to:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>#connectMolecule(m)</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">(i.e. comment out the call to compute the connectivity). Make sure to keep the indentation the same. If you are feeling fancy, you might instead change that line to:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>if len(m.atoms) < 10000: connectMolecule(m)</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">which will allow to the connectivity to be computed for smaller structures (< 10000 atoms) but skip it for structures as large as yours.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">—Eric</div><div class=""><br class=""><div class="">
