[Chimera-users] Dropdown list of models in groups

[Yasser Almeida Hernández]

Hello Elaine,

Thank you for your answer.

I will try ChimeraX and the rename command. In any case, I think many 
users would appreciate the addition of this functionality to Chimera.

I am a big fan of Chimera, and have been using it since 10 years. I have 
some suggestions for new functionalities. Is this users mailing list 
proper platform for suggestions?

Best regards

Yasser

>> This doesn’t solve your problem for a user-defined group, but in ChimeraX, the Models list has disclosure triangles to expand and collapse groups.  Opening an NMR ensemble of atomic models  (e.g. 1plx) or showing multiple isosurfaces for the same density map automatically makes a group, as in the attached image.  However, there isn’t a way for the user to group models manually (at least yet) or add notes to a model or group.

Currently, if I make a group, and then ungroup, I lose the definition, notes ans any other action on it. If there is no possibility, I would suggest the developers to consider the option to make groups with dropdown list of models.
