Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: User interface Group: None >Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Miguel (michaelthoward) Assigned to: Miguel (migueljmol) Summary: display multiple models concurrently Initial Comment: Feature request to support multiple models in the same window. > my two cents, > load different molecules in the same window is an important feature for > on screen comparison and alignment of 2 models. A picture of such an > alignment can be seen on the following page : http://cl.sdsc.edu/ce.html This is very helpful. Now I understand this feature and why it is important ...

Those all sound like reasonable mechanisms to use to distinguish between which model you are operating on. I have added this as a feature-request to our bug database. Just to be clear ... it is currently higher priority to reach functional parity with RasMol/Chime. So 'new feature requests' are relatively low priority. > I remember that I > used once SwissProt to align two molecules and this program ownes a > wonderful feature called "magic fit", which auto-align two models. I am currently working on a 3d least-squares-fit to find the axis center of SHEET and HELIX structures. I am wondering if some variant of this might be useful to implement the 'magic fit'. Any ideas?
