[chimerax-users] Renaming chain IDs

[Fahrenkamp, Dirk]

Hi ChimeraX team.

I am happily using chimeraX along with ISOLDE for modelling.
Lately, I am running into issues with complexes having too many chains to be handled by the standard .pdb format which is why I am using .cif now.

Is there a smooth way/command to rename chain IDs and change 

_entity.pdbx_description 
_struct_asym.entity_id
 
accordingly?

Thanks!

Kind regards,
Dirk
