[chimerax-users] Antw: [EXT] Re: selection modes

[Philipp Milkereit]

Dear Elaine,

thanks for your help! 
Your example does not work for me on ChimeraX 0.93 (2020-04-03) both on a
Windows and a Linux sytem.  But after installing the new production version 1.0
the selection mode works indeed there on user defined selectors as expected,
which is great! 
Apparently there should be also now versions of the Isolde plugin (1.0b5 ?)
which are compatible with ChimeraX 1.0, so no reason anymore to stay with
0.93..  

Best,

Philipp

Hi Philipp,
This works fine for me using the menu.  For example, start ChimeraX, then:

open 2gbp
menu: Select... Structure... Secondary Structure... Strand
menu: Select... Define Selector... (I gave it the name "mystrands")
menu: Select... Clear
menu: Select... Structure... Ligand
menu: Select... Menu Mode... Add
menu: Select... User-Defined Selectors... mystrands

Now both the ligand and strands are selected.  Also works if I use commands
for any of those steps.  When you use the menu, the corresponding commands are
echoed in the Log, and it actually works by running the commands, so it doesn't
make sense that commands would work and the menu wouldn't.

Tested in version 1.0.

I hope this helps,
Elaine

Basic Actions window? Changing to Menu_Mode:Add in Menu:Select seems not to
have any effect on that. I think in Chimera1 named selections still could be
added to the current selection using the „append“ selection mode. At the moment
adding named selections to the current selection works for me in ChimeraX just
with the command line „select add“ command.
