Hi Michael,

Thank you for your response. The problem is that for types of inter-molecular 
interaction all of the visual distances are merged into one object in the 
sidebar (as if created using the measurement wizard with the "merge with 
previous" option on), for which unfortunately the ungroup command doesn't seem 
to work for. Left-clicking on the interaction type in the GUI sidebar toggles 
show/hide for every distance of that interaction type, and there are no further 
disclosure squares which indicates that the distances are grouped rather than 
merged. Ideally I'd like to be able to un-merge these objects to make each dash 
an object that I can hide or show individually so I can switch off the ones not 
connected to a residue of interest. Even better (if possible) would be to only 
show dashes connected to a residue of choice.

I hope that makes sense. Thank you for your help,

Harry
