Hi Neena,

VMD makes the assumption that things are molecular, and are best represented in Angstroms, so this unit is used everywhere. For input file formats that use nanometers instead, the file loaders VMD uses multiply everything by 10 so that the coordinates are converted to Angstroms.

Hello VMD users,
What is the unit for RMSD cutoff in the VMD clustering tool? I think it is in angstrom, but I am not sure. Please confirm.
Many thanks,
Neena
