Is there any way to convert a selection object to a model object ? I
would like to extract the chains from a multi-chain model and use the
separate chains as individual models. At the moment, the only way I seem
to be able to do this is to write the selection to a file and the read
the file into a model object.
Exactly - that's really the only way of doing it at present
(alternatively, you can write the whole model out to a file, and then
read it in again using the model_segment argument to have it read in
individual chains).
