[chimerax-users] Showing Bond/PBond to Cartoon/Ribbons

[Anderson, Jacob]

There has been a prior post on this problem, but I wanted to ask about some asymmetry I see in ChimeraX when displaying residues emanating from ribbons/cartoons.

https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/pipermail/chimerax-users/2021-October/002850.html

For example, sometimes when I select a residue on a ribbon/cartoon and write "show sel atoms,bonds", I get a floating residue. However, other times I get a nice connection between the beta carbon and the ribbon (the desired behavior).

How can users get a consistent behavior where there is a connection from the beta carbon to the ribbon?

Good Example - connected to ribbon

Two floating examples:
