[chimerax-users] Distinguishing between upper and lower case chain IDs before and after splitting chains

[Yazan Abbas]

Hi,

My model (cif format) contains 34 chains, and so I've been using upper case
and lower case letters for chain IDs. When I read in my model, the select
command distinguishes between upper case and lower case, but after applying
the split command on my model ('split #1 chains'), the select command no
longer distinguishes between upper and lower case. I.e. 'select #1/D' will
select both chains D and d. The split command works correctly, producing
models 1.1-1.34.

Also, is it possible to create a model from a selection? I can't find such
a command anywhere, and the only thing I can figure out is to do the
following:

'save *name* format mmcif models *selecion_name*; open test.cif'

Thanks,

Yazan
