[Chimera-users] Applying settings from one molecule to another

[Oliver Clarke]

Hi,

Is it possible (or if not, might it be worth considering in a future version) to apply the display settings (colors, ribbon/stick display etc) from one molecule to another?

I’ thinking particularly about a case when one develops a figure with quite complicated coloring and so forth, saves it as a session (potentially with multiple views etc), and then obtains a new, better set of coordinates (from a later refinement, for example). Obviously such a feature would only apply to the atoms in common between the two models (if they are allowed to differ at all), but I feel like this would be a very handy feature to have.

Best,
Oliver.
