Hi everyone,

love the "new" work in the dailys for ChimeraX and visualising the PAE and pLDTT scores. As I calculate my AF structures on my own, this helps a lot to analyses the structures.

I have one question/suggestion however: If I select a region in the PAE plot, it gets coloured in the the "3D-view", however, I found no way to actually get the residues number or a proper selection for the coloured residues. Is there a way? I'd like to colour multiple selections differently...
Another nice feature would be a pLDTT plot, as this enables easier detection of unordered stretches...

As always: Many thanks for all the good work!

Best
Jan

Done.

If you right click or ctrl-click on the plot it now shows a context menu with a checked entry "Drag colors", default on. Unchecking it causes drag to just select residues.
