Hi Joseph, Thanks for the example, I can reproduce it! Not sure if this should be considered a bug, or just a misleading user interface. "involving side chains" really means "side chains within selection". There are none if you only select the ligand. If I instead click on "to other atoms in object" I'll get the expected result.
You might also find one of these command line options useful: distance polar1, (resn GSH), not (resn GSH), mode=2 distance polar2, (resn GSH), (sidechain), mode=2 distance polar3, (resn GSH), not (solvent), mode=2 Cheers, Thomas > On Oct 26, 2018, at 2:34 PM, Joseph Brock <joseph.br...@dbb.su.se> wrote: > > Hi again Jarrett, > > I have built the latest version from git (PyMOL 2.3.0a0 Open-Source) on my > system. > > The behaviour is still there, but I realise that this it is now only when the > selection is a ligand.
