Description 

Hello,

I used to use chimerax 1.3, and recently I downloaded chimerax 1.4.

I was using "transparency" command previously, but now it stopped working. Please see attached screenshot.
There is no error in command, but it says "Missing or invalid "percent" argument: Expected a number".

Could you please help me out to resolve this issue?

Thanks,
Guipeun

Hello Guipeun Kang,
Your transparency command is wrong ... should be something like:

transparency #3/D:131,145 80 target ar

see the help page:
<​https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/transparency.html>

The example command above works for me in the current 1.5 daily build and also in version 1.4. The commands you tried were sort of a combination of Chimera and ChimeraX. Many commands are slightly different between the two programs.
Best,
Elaine
