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

[Elaine Meng]

Forgot to answer all facets of the question, sorry.  As you probably saw, "volume zone" is for the density map.  For atoms and residue labels in a zone, you could just “show” and “label" using a zone specifier, e.g.

hide atoms; label delete
show #2/A:54-56,75 :<5.0
label #2/A:54-56,75 :<5.0

See zone atom-specifier examples:
<https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/atomspec.html#zones>

The reason that there is a “zone" command that does all 3 types of zones for a single residue is to go with a mouse-mode that does it with a single click.

I hope this helps,
Elaine
