[chimerax-users] display options for model with 2 chains

[Mauricio Losilla]

Hi,

I am new to ChimeraX, thank you for making this great software available.

I loaded a pdb file that has 2 amino acid chains aligned (chimerax.png).
These chains are a model (gray) and template (purple).

As you can see, the two chains look weaved or blended. I would much prefer
to display the uninterrupted template around to model, to visually
represent their fit. Is there a way to do this?

I am attaching a second image (ideal_display.png, generated elsewhere) with
the visual outcome I am after (the purple chain is the template, the
rainbow-colored chain is the model).

Thank you
