[chimerax-users] specify pseudobonds

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Ruchika,
It is not possible to answer unless you give more details about what you mean when you say it doesn't work or didn't help completely... like every detailed step of what you tried and what happened at each step.  Maybe you did something wrong or maybe there is a bug.  Also you could attach a specific session file and say exactly which pseudobond(s) you are unable to hide in that session.

I also tried checking the pseudobond command. So, could you please help me in specifying pseudo bonds and how to delete or hide specified pseudobonds in the figure, instead of all of them.
