[Chimera-users] Hiding models one by one?

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Ahmad,
This kind of looping can be done with the “perframe” command, at least for individual models. For example, maybe something like:

perframe "~modeldisp #$1" range 16,60 interval 20

You may need to experiment, just try a few different things (your interval was 5, was but that’s pretty fast).  See “perframe” description, including other options and examples.

I hope this helps,
Elaine
