[Chimera-users] How to generate submodels in a mol2 file in Chimera?

[Eric Pettersen]

To supplement Elaine's answer:  you can have model numbers higher than  
9.  The command line interface only shows buttons for models 0-9, but  
you can have models 10+, there just aren't buttons for them.  They can  
still be referenced in commands (e.g. #13) and will show up in the  
Model Panel.
