that's right -- load FILTER will first edit the atoms from any file format
directly as they are read -- only those atoms selected are actually saved as
atoms in the file reader. Then the symmetry is applied.

The primary purpose for this is exactly Eric's need -- filtering out atoms
from huge models prior to applying symmetry or reading them all in as a
model. Also, this allows selection of atoms in a molecular dynamics
calculation and never actually reading whole sets of atoms, such as solvent
especially.

It's very efficient.


So I was asking if this is now possible and I just didn't notice.

I think it works as you suggest.
