[chimerax-users] maps not on same grid in new ChimeraX?

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Moritz,

  I made ChimeraX go back to rotating about a common center point after tiled models are all closed to avoid having subsequently opened models get out of alignment when rotating.  This will be in tomorrow's ChimeraX nightly builds.

And when you close those models to open new data it stays in that mode which is confusing.  I agree that closing the original models you tiled should change the rotation mouse mode back to rotating about a common center point.  I've made a bug report to fix that.  https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/trac/ChimeraX/ticket/7405 <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/trac/ChimeraX/ticket/7405>

I used tile, then closed the session, then opened new maps and they were all ‘misaligned’ as described (the misalignment comes from the fact that while in tile mode only the shown maps turn, and not the hidden maps). So, if you used tile, then you’ll need to specify ‘tile off’ even when starting a new session.

As I recall, in previous versions of Chimera, maps with the same box and pixel size would open in a coordinated, overlapping fashion, and they would move together when manipulated.  Is there a preference that I need to set in the latest version in order for this to happen?
