Hi, I am using MacPyMol under OS X 10.4 on a G5 PowerMac, and I frequently have problems select atoms by clicking on them. Very often, no matter how carefully I aim with the mouse, the atoms selected are far from the ones I wanted. It seems that this should be simple! Is there something I am missing?

David, Are the misclicks plausible or absurd? For example, if you click on the left side of the screen are unrelated atoms being selected on the right side? If so, then the problem can probably be corrected by running under Millions of Colors instead of Thousands (see Display under System Preferences). If not, then try to rotate the camera and adjust the clipping planes so that no other atoms are displayed near the atoms you wish to click on.

Warren, Thanks very much for your suggestions. Turning on Millions of Colors seems to have solved the problem. David DeLano Scientific wrote: > David, > > Are the misclicks plausible or absurd?
