Thank you for the response Elaine. It was a Modeller online job to fill in
some missing residues of a protein complex. I kept ChimeraX open the whole
time on my computer but can't find anything updated, either on the desktop,
in the downloads, or in the results folder I specified. I don't see
anything in the log list either - perhaps I am doing something wrong. I do
have job IDs if that helps -
Webservices job id: EZ1QP7XJZLIY0BVI
Webservices job id: 488559BRXJ20I5U4
