Hi Miguel,

I contacted you a bit ago re: a new feature request to
add models to an existing set of one or more models.

I'm hopeful that you'll see the potential utility of a built
in function and raise the
priority of adding an 'appendModel' method.

Scott,

Nico has been continuing to work on trying to support multiple models. It
is a non-trivial problem.
Scott, if you're interested in the 'appendModel' method having a higher priority, you can help.

As Miguel said, I have started working on the support of multiple models.
I have committed in CVS a draft of the 'load' method with several files at once. Currently, only atoms are done (bonds are done by the auto-bonding feature, other structures are not done).
To help me on this work, you can :
- get the latest version from the CVS repository and compile it on your own machine
- test the new load method: load "modelName" "filename1" ... "filenameN"
- give feedback on this new function (remember that only atoms are currently really supported) - provide simple sample files for me to test the addition of the other elements (bonds, structures, ...) I don't really have a background in chemistry, so the samples should be easy to use.

The loading of multiple models is the first step for the 'appendModel' method.
I will add it when multiple models are handled correctly.

So, do you want to spend some time helping me ?
Others are also welcome to help ;)

In my case, at the present time I am continuing to work on solvent
accessible surface rendering and am unable to focus on any other
challenging piece of work.
Great job so far for what I have seen :)

I won't have much time either to work on the multiple models, so help from other people will speed up the development.

Nicolas
