[Chimera-users] "Cartoon" command unrecognized

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Dmitry,
Chimera and ChimeraX are two different programs -- you are looking at the ChimeraX documentation!

Chimera website
<https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/index.html>

ChimeraX website
<https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/index.html>

Both websites have "Download" in their quick links on the left side of the home page.  

If you want curved tube helices, you have to use ChimeraX:
<https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/features.html#tubes>

Also, there is a separate mailing list chimerax-users at cgl.ucsf.edu if you want to ask questions specifically about ChimeraX.

Best,
Elaine
