[Chimera-users] Selecting equivalent surfaces

[Ankush Aggarwal]

Hi Tom,

Thanks a lot for your help. In Multiscale Models dialog, selecting one
protein and then clicking copies works for me (I wanted to select 60 copies
of a one protein rather than all the 180 proteins). I really appreciate
your help.
