[chimerax-users] How to get back to original view after running resfit

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Rayees,
Depends on exactly what you mean by original view, but you can delete 2D labels, show all atoms, and turn off map zoning via GUI actions or commands, e.g. commands:

2dlab delete
show atoms
volume unzone

If you wanted how the structure looked when you first opened it (e.g. maybe it was shown as ribbons rather than atoms), then one way is command:

preset "initial styles" "original look"

If you wanted original positions/orientations, one way is command:

view orient; view initial

There are usually several different ways to do the same thing (menu or gui actions, or even different sets of commands with same net result).  I'm giving commands because it is a lot less typing than describing the other ways.  All of these commands have detailed help in the User Guide (menu: Help... User Guide).

I hope this helps,
Elaine
