687	Pick atoms beneath density map surfaces	olibclarke@…	Tom Goddard	"On May 25, 2017, at 6:24 AM, Oliver Clarke wrote:

Hi,

Often I want to select or hover over (to reveal tooltip info) atoms located under a transparent surface or mesh. It is much less common to want to select a volume with ctrl-click in my experience. Would it be possible to add a modifier (e.g. Shift or alt/option) for volume selection, and otherwise default to selection of/interaction with the atomic model(s)?

I feel like since ChimeraX deals mostly with these two data types, often in combination, having a clear way to distinguish interaction with them would be useful - it adds one extra step to be able to see atoms under a mesh, go to the volume viewer and turn of  the required volume or volumes before selecting/identifying them - what do you think?

Cheers
