Hi Ana,
ChimeraX does not have a Multiscale Models tool like the one in Chimera.
However, you can use the ChimeraX "sym" command, e.g. something like
commands:

open 1hqk
hide solvent
style stick
sym #1 assembly 1 surfaceOnly true resolution 10

... but you should look at the "sym" command help because there are lots of
options, and you might decide to use different options or different values
of the options.  Use command "help sym" to see the help page included in
your download, or see the copy at our website:
<https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/sym.html>

I hope this helps,
Elaine

1HQK. I have searched in the tutorial of xchimera but I could not find the
general instructions, but I found them in the tutorial of chimera
(multiscale model), however, the options are not present in my installation
xchimera (and also in my installation of chimera). Then, I thought that
maybe you could tell me how to make it in xchimera.
