2438	should object models (e.g. from BILD) be selectable?	Elaine Meng	Greg Couch	"This has many of the same pros and cons as making labels selectable (discussed in ticket #2365).  They show up in the Model Panel, and as 3D objects are even more likely for the user to expect selectability.  Cons include that wouldn't be able to do much (anything?) with the selection, at least not until commands are changed to handle them.  For example, ""color"" and ""view"" do not work on these objects. Currently the commands that I know to work on them are show/hide and close.

It might be useful to select them and use the mousemodes to move/rotate selected model. 

I didn't put it as high priority, but if labels are going to be selectable maybe it's consistent to make other models selectable too. Feel free to change priority, component, ...

Currently if you click in the Select checkbox in the Model Panel for a BILD object, it just puts a minus sign in the checkbox."	enhancement	assigned	moderate		Core				chimera-programmers				all	ChimeraX
