[chimerax-users] stretching protein?

[Noriega, Heather]

Hello,

Yes, it does make it arbitrary. The picture was from another study, not the
family I am working on. It was a request from a colleague, I was just
seeing if there was an easy way of doing it, instead of manually. Thank you
though. I hope you have a good evening.

Thank you,
