load biological assembly by default in LiteMol

[conradshyu]

Hi,
Is there a way to load biological assembly in LiteMol by default, instead of asymmetric unit? Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi,

yes, this is possible. You can use the Transformer.Molecule.CreateAssembly transform after the CreateModel before you create the visuals.

Alternatively, if that is an option for you, I recommend you use https://molstar.org instead which does this automatically out of the box.

I think that I have the same question - I tried to turn on assembly mode by default (I want to have the same image as in the screenshot that I added to this question by default - when I open the plugin the first time) - but it always shows in 'model mode' (if it the correct way to name it)...

I added this code
{ transformer: Transformer.Molecule.CreateModel, view: Views.Transform.Molecule.CreateModel },
{ transformer: Transformer.Molecule.CreateAssembly, view: Views.Transform.Molecule.CreateAssembly },
{ transformer: Transformer.Molecule.CreateVisual, view:
Views.Transform.Molecule.CreateVisual }

    do you have any solution for that?

Hi Julia,
your code looks more like a plugin spec rather than creating a state. Is using mol* an option for you?
