[Chimera-users] Visualize chain break in Chimera

Dear all,
I am going through a Rosetta protein-protein docking tutorial using Chimera as the structure viewer. There is a chain break in the structure used for this tutorial (3gbn), which is caused by a severed connection between residue 127 and 128. Such chain break needs to be identified and fixed in a structural model before it could be used for Rosetta simulation. 
This chain break can be easily identified in Pymol as it is displayed as a dotted line. However, I cannot see this chain break in Chimera (and ChimeraX) as the segment is rendered as a beta-sheet. 
Is there a way to visualize such chain break in Chimera?
Thanks,
Yu Zhou
