6.12 Remove dialogs
VEGA ZZ can remove groups of atoms using the molecule, segment, residue hierarchy. That's useful to speed-up the deletion of the atoms. To do a custom atom removing, it's possible to combine the custom selection (View -> Select -> Custom) and the Edit -> Remove -> Invisible atoms menu item.
The Remove molecule/s dialog is accessible trough the Edit -> Remove -> Molecule menu item:
The user can delete one or more molecule doing a multiple selection in the list and clicking the Remove button. The selection is highlighted in the main window coloring in red the selected and in white the unselected atoms. For a simple molecule selection, it's possible click on any its atom in the main window.
This dialog can be shown choosing the Edit -> Remove -> Segment menu item:
It works in the same manner of the previous one.
To remove one or more residues, one can select Edit -> Remove -> Residue main menu item:
This dialog works in a little bit different mode: unchecking Keep the window opened, it works in the same way of the previous dialogs, but checking it, the window remains opened when the user push the Remove button. Also the atom picking works in a different way: when you click an atom, the residue is removed immediately keeping opened the dialog window.
