[chimerax-users] Select complelementary of range

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Pranav,
There are special symbols you can use in the command-line specifiers, like "~" to mean NOT.  So residues other than 410-420 would be specified in a command like this

color ~ :410-420  red

See the documentation on command-line specifiers:
<https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/atomspec.html>
<https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/atomspec.html#combinations>

I hope this helps,
Elaine
