<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;">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.
