1998	Clip mouse mode control of scene, screen and per-model clip planes	olibclarke@…	Tom Goddard	"{{{
The following bug report has been submitted:

Description
Hi,

Another minor feature request. The ""clip"" right mouse mode seems to act the same as per model clipping planes in Chimera - that is, when the view is rotated, the clip plane rotates with the model. This is really useful in some cases (e.g. slicing through a molecular surface to expose a ligand binding pocket), but in many cases (e.g examining EM map in conjunction with model) it is more useful to manipulate the global clip planes, as one can do with side view. Would it be possible to add a right mouse mode for this case? So that then there would be two - ""Global clip"" and ""per model clip"" I guess? Also, is there a way to assign Z-translation to a trackpad gesture? E.g. in Chimera I have this assigned to Ctrl-right-click-drag, so I can quickly slab through a map.

Cheers
Oli

PS ChimeraX is looking much more polished and getting better every day, using it more and more!
