<li><strong>Viewing Cached Structures</strong><br />If
previously downloaded structures are available for your
sequences, the structure chooser will automatically offer them

- <strong>Structure Viewers in the Jalview Desktop</strong><br/>
- The

- 2.3. Jalview 2.8.2 included support for
- <a href="chimera.html">Chimera</a>, provided it is installed and can
- be launched by Jalview. The default viewer can be configured in the
- <a href="preferences.html#structure">Structure tab</a> in the
- <strong>Tools→Preferences</strong> dialog box.

- <strong><a name="afterviewbutton">After pressing the
- 'View' button in the Structure Chooser</a></strong><br /> The behaviour of
- the 'View' button depends on the number of structures selected, and
- whether structure views already exist for the selected structures or
- aligned sequences.

+ name="afterviewbutton">Controlling where the new structures
+ will be shown</a></strong>
+ <br />The Structure Chooser offers several options
+ for viewing a structure. <br/><strong>New View</strong> will open a new
+ structure viewer for the selected structures, but if there are views
+ already open, you can select which one to use, and press the <strong>Add</strong>
+ button. Jalview can automatically superimpose new structures based
+ on the linked alignments - but if this is not desirable, simple
+ un-tick the <strong>Superpose Structures</strong> checkbox.
+
</p>
<p>
- If multiple structures are selected, then Jalview will always create
- a new structure view. The selected structures will be imported into
- this view, and superposed with the matched positions from the
- aligned sequences.<br /> If a <strong>single</strong> PDB structure
- is selected, one of the following will happen:
+ <em>Superposing structures</em><br/>Jalview superposes structures using
+ the visible portions of any associated sequence alignments. A
+ message in the structure viewer's status bar will be shown if not
+ enough aligned columns were available to perform a superposition.
</p>
-
- <ul>
- <li>If no structures are open, then an interactive display of
- the structure will be opened in a new window.</li>
-
- <li>If another structure is already shown for the current
- alignment, then you will be asked if you want to add and <a
- href="jmol.html#align"></a> to
- the structure in the existing view. (<em>new feature in Jalview
- 2.6</em>).
- </li>
-
- <li>If the structure is already shown, then you will be
- prompted to associate the sequence with an existing view of the
- selected structure. This is useful when working with multi-domain
- or multi-chain PDB files.</li>
