It sounds like those region numbers range from 240 to 250. Displaying that as if is a density map with contour surfaces isn't very useful as you point out. Instead you can use the ChimeraX segmentation command to make a surface for each region, for example</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>segmentation surface #1 each segment</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">where "#1" is the id of the segmentation model you opened, and the "each segment" part says to make a separate surface for each region instead of one surface that includes all regions, Documentation is here</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><a href="https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/segmentation.html" class="">https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/segmentation.html</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">You can also color your tomogram using the segmented regions using the "segmentation color" command.

I first opened the .rec file in chimera and re-saved as .mrc. Okay, the segmentation output gives a<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="">fully filled</span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>volume cube except for the regions of segmentation. Obviously things are inverted. Also, the volume viewer shows clear sharp peaks (delta functions) rather than continuous density, as volume slider moves to the right new segmentation features appear. So I used volume filter with "scale" to -1, and I turned off "displayed subregions only". This fixed the inversion problem and now as I slide toward the right I see more segmented densities. However the threshold values are all negative (-250 on the far left to -240 on the far right). This, combined with the densities being sharp peaks, makes it impossible to use this volume like a regular volume for surface coloring, filtering, segger, etc. Any suggestion on how to go from this step to a usable density would be appreciated.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">thanks!<br class=""></div><div style="margin-top: 0px;
