Inspired by Utz, I ported the old Briggs lab tools to ChimeraX in a single bundle named Geopickr, with some extra utilities (geopicking on morphometrics surfaces!). I've submitted it to the toolshed, but in the meantime: github.com/baradlab/Geo...

Claude Code is pretty good at writing ChimeraX plugins! This one is almost entirely good context and some prompting: github.com/uermel/chime... Most likely older plugins could be ported over that way relatively easily.

As in Kun Qu's place object script?

It's volume tracer, pick particle, and place object all in one.

Yep - started as a direct tkinter to qt port then added a few extra features but overall it's still Kun Qu's stuff.

Awesome! I was really missing it in chimeraX (and without using .motl files). Will definitely be installing this!

I started with just a basic port (plus stopgap star files), but will start adding in more modern/standard output formats over the next week or three.

Ja Ja Genau! It’s commented in the GitHub deposition
