<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Thanks a lot, Elaine,
this worked indeed!<br>
Just one final point: how can I make the linewidth larger? When I
make a picture, the thin lines of the box disappear.<br>
I understand ChimeraX interpretes these lines as a surface, I can
change the colour when choosing surface in the colour blow up.<br>

Hi Xavier,
<div class="">
<div class="">As far as I can tell, it is exactly the same in
ChimeraX as in Chimera. First, make sure you aren't using a
very old version of ChimeraX. I tried it in ChimeraX 1.5
release candidate (2022-11-08) just now:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">- open your structure that has unit cell
information, e.g. 1fav</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">- in Unit Cell tool (menu: Tools... Higher-Order
Structure... Unit Cell) click Outline to show unit cell box</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">- if you want to change box outline color, can use
the same method as described below for Chimera. I wasn't able
to select it by Ctrl-click, however, so instead use the
selection (hand with green dot) checkbox in the Model Panel to
select it, then use Actions... Color... [...]. Or, you can
just click the color square in the Model Panel and use the
system color chooser to change the color interactively.

Dear Elaine,<br class="">
I am now trying to get this done in ChimeraX where there is
indeed a similar option. Unfortunately, if I proceed as in
the instructions<br class="">
I do not get the cell box, in contrast with old Chimera. I
also tried through the command line but unsuccessfully.<br
class="">
Am I missing something?<br class="">
Thanks a lot in advance,<br class="">
Xavier<br class="">

<div class="">Hi Xavier,</div>
<div class="">You can select the box (Ctrl-click on it)
and then use menu: Actions... Color... [choose color],
then clear selection by Ctrl-click on blank area of
window or menu Select... Clear Selection.</div>

<div class="">Dear all,</div>
<div class="">is there a way in Chimera or ChimeraX to
get the unit-cell box being drawn in another colour
than white?</div>
<div class="">This forces the background to be dark....</div>
<div class="">Thanks a lot in advance,</div>
