Scene authoring tools: Difference between revisions

The selections tab is used to select particular groups of atoms so that you can later change that group's color, representations, or labels.  When you choose a representation, a color, or a label using the ''Scene authoring tools'' other tabs, the change is almost always applied ONLY to the currently selected atoms.  That is why it is important to be aware of what atoms are selected at any given time.

In the "build your selection" box, you can select by group, sites, chains, residue types, residue numbers and chemical elements. For example, you could select all sulfur atoms in cysteine residues of chain B of the model by entering those specifications. The buttons below determine what happens to the selection you just built. You can use it as your new selection ("replace selection") or you can combine it with the previous selection in different ways ("add to selection", "remove from selection").
