[chimerax-users] How to zoom into a spot that is not located in the center gradually and straightly?

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Steve,
Not sure if it will solve the problem, but you could try saving views (“view save”) of the desired start and end positions, possibly also intermediate positions, and then use “view” with frames argument to gradually transition from one previously saved view to the another.  Saved views and their names are included in saved sessions.
