I followed the tutorial and have successfully built a selector that selects all lipids of the type I specify (say, I put in the command line 'sel POPC' then all the POPCs in the membrane get highlighted). Because of the way AMBER lipid forcefields work, individual lipids are separated into three residues, one head and two tails. I'm trying to add a function to my bundle such that individual lipids can be selected - e.g. when I select a headgroup and go [up]+[up], then the entire lipid can be selected. How can I group three residues together in a bundle?</span></li></ol></div></div></blockquote><div><br class=""></div>Hi Katie,</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>This is really a deficiency in the up/down selection hierarchy. In our Chimera program there is a "connected component" level -- which is what you want here -- that ChimeraX does not have. We have a ticket open for giving ChimeraX a fuller selection hierarchy but haven't gotten to it so far. I will add you to the recipient list for the ticket so that you will be notified when it becomes available. With your need for it, the "connected component" level should get implemented sometime this week.<br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class=""><div style="font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class=""><ol class="" start="2"><li class=""><span class="">Is it possible to register multiple selectors through a single function?

For bundles that register many selectors, typically they use one function that registers all the bundle's selectors when any of them are requested (rather than on a case-by-case basis). The atomic and chem_group bundles are examples. You do have to list the selectors individually in bundle_info.xml. The atomic and chem_group bundles can be found within the ChimeraX app, namely:</div><div><br class=""></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Mac: ChimeraX.app/Contents/lib/python3.9/site-packages/chimerax</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Windows: <ChimeraX folder>/bin/Lib/site-packages/chimerax<br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class=""><div style="font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class=""><ol class="" start="3"><li class=""><span class="">Are there any built bundles that are open source?
