[Chimera-users] Splitting an pdb with multiple proteins

[Eric Pettersen]

I should clarify that I implemented it in the dialog that the “select chain(s)…” button in the model panel shows.  That was easy.  I didn’t implement it in the main Select->Chain menu, since the code modifications would be considerably more complicated.  The latter is still worth doing but won’t happen immediately.
