Date: January 3, 2024 at 10:32:59 AM PST To: ChimeraX Users Help Reply-To: Oliver Clarke Hi all, Happy new year! I have some observations/queries regarding the ""tile models"" command in Chimera vs ChimeraX. In Chimera, the rotation mode is not linked to a specific mouse mode - so if I change it from ""front center"" to ""independent"", this will affect rotation of models regardless of how I do it - whether using the mouse, the trackpad, or using the rock, roll or turn commands on the command line. In ChimeraX, independent rotation is now a separate mousemode - so it only applies to whatever mouse mode (e.g. left mouse) one has it applied to, and does not apply to the trackpad or command line. Is there any prospect of altering this behavior, or mimicking the old behavior? When tiling many models (or maps) for comparison, I like to view them with a rocking motion to give better 3D perception, but now I can't do this (it just rocks the entire ""plane"" of dispersed models, rather than each independently).
