[Chimera-users] mrc maps

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Tatiana,
Sure, just open multiple .mrc files (for example with "File... Open"  
in the main menu or "File... Open map" in the Volume Viewer menu).   
Each will be treated as a "model" in Chimera.  You can freeze/ 
unfreeze any of the models using the "Active" checkboxes in the Model  
Panel (under Favorites in the main Chimera menu).  By freeze I mean  
make the model unresponsive to movement with the mouse or various  
movement commands, while the others remain movable. When you have a  
lot of data open, however, interactive responsiveness may become an  
issue depending on the capabilities of your computer.
I hope this helps,
Elaine
