Hi Allesia, I am not quite sure how to want to select the atoms, but if you want to have the selected atoms of both m1 and m2 in the same selection (here s1), then try this: select s1, (m1 and id 1-3) or (m2 and id 7-9)
if you want two different selections, just do select s1, m1 and id 1-3 select s2, m2 and id 7-9 Hope that helps, Bernhard On Sep 5, 2013, at 12:40 PM, Alessia Visconti <alessia.visco...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear pyMOL users, > I'm puzzled about how to solve an apparently simple task. > > I loaded on PyMOL two molecules (e.g., m1 and m2) and I wanted to select two > different sets of atoms from each of them. > Let's say I want to select atoms [1,2,3] from m1 and and atoms [7,8,9] from > m2. > > I tried several combinations of "load" and "select", but no option worked. > The last selection is always applied to both molecules.
