[chimerax-users] "zone" near MULTIPLE residues in ChimeraX

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Steve,
With “volume zone” you can specify any set of atoms.

<https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/volume.html#zone>

For example,

volume zone #3 near #2/A:54-56,75 range 5

The “volume zone” command is in the “see also” list on the page you were viewing;  I try to cross-reference each page with a list of related features, but sometimes the list is long and/or easy to skip over.
I hope this helps,
Elaine
