[chimerax-users] C-alphas rendered as dots

[Pranav Shah]

Hi Team,

I am working with a huge model (and a correspondingly huge map), which
makes the handling on my GPU accelerated desktop an agonisingly
frustrating experience. In order to speed up simple (rigid-body)
fitting of the map and model, I decided to use the -C-alpha trace of
the pdb. However, the pdb gets rendered as a bunch of disconnected
dots whereas the same pdb in Chimera is rendered correctly with all
things. Is this a normal behaviour for ChimeraX? I could use Chimera,
but I prefer the way ChiemraX handles large maps as compared to
Chimera. In the absence of a quick fix, would there be a way to
increase the size of the atoms?

Best,
Pranav
