<div class="" style="word-wrap:break-word; line-break:after-white-space">Hi Sergio,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""> To make ChimeraX rotate each displayed model about its own center you use the "rotate independent" mouse mode. The tile command enables that mode. You can enable it after loading a session with command</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><span class="x_Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>mouse left "rotate independent"</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Loading a session file does not restore the mouse modes to what they were when you saved the session. Maybe it should. In this case it would be helpful but if you were using some other special purpose mouse mode I suspect you usually don't want
the session file to remember that. I've made a feature request to consider saving mouse modes in session files.</div>

around each own axis) is lost. The tile distribution is still there, but now the entire thing rotates around a common axis. I need to apply 'tile' again to make it work, but this resets all the modifications I made in the saved session (these modifications
include those in point 2 below).</span>

2) any chance to add an argument to the 'tile' command so that the default spatial distribution, which assigns a 'distance' between near neighbors, can be adjusted with, say, 'zoom in" or "zoom out" or crowd in/out? I noticed the default puts each panel too
far away from its neighbors for my taste, so I need to "move" them to make them look closer to one another.</div>
