[chimerax-users] Tile a vseries

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Sean,
Tile may not handle this situation with map time series.  It was developed mainly for atomic structures and not time series.

Try just translating the model(s) with the “move” command.  E.g. if models #1,2 are initially on top of each other in the middle, orient as desired, and then move #1 to the left and #2 to the right, something like:

move x -100 mod #1
move x 100 mod #2

You can fiddle with the translation amounts.  It works for map models that are not time series, at least.  I haven’t tried with time series.  I hope this helps,
Elaine
