Hi,

It would be very helpful to have a way to undisplay all maps, or all models, at once. This would be particularly handy when inspecting the fit of a model in a map, as the residue tooltips don’t work when there is a surface in front of the atoms.

Would it be possible to add two checkboxes in addition to the model specific checkboxes and the “all” checkbox that controls whether models, maps, or both are displayed? I would envision both the model and map checkboxes working as toggles, checked by default, but one could uncheck either to temporarily undisplay all maps/models, and then check the box again to return to the previous state.

I know most effort is going into ChimeraX, so please disregard if this is difficult to implement.

Cheers
