[chimerax-users] question about ChimeraX Hide Dust Feature

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Philip, 
There is no GUI (tool dialog) yet.

There are options so you should check the details in the manual page for what you really want, but here are some simple examples:

open 9333 fromDatabase emdb
surface dust #1
surf undust #1
surf dust #1 size 2 metric “size rank"

… if your map is open as model #1.  Do not cut and paste the example with quotation marks because the mail app may have changed them to fancy quotation marks.  Instead type plain quotation marks from your keyboard (single or double doesn’t matter).

I hope this helps,
Elaine
