[Chimera-users] Image not appearing

[Thomas Goddard]

Hi Kyle,

   This problem is mysterious.  Never saw anything like it.

   Do the missing models #18 and #14 appear in the movie if you don't 
use raytracing?  It could be a raytracing error.

   If you run just part of your script without movie recording up to the 
point where model 18 is displayed, then try File / Save Image and enable 
raytracing, does that raytraced image show model 18?

   Are models 18 and 14 atomic models?  What display style? stick? 
sphere? ribbon? wire?

   Are any of the models 0 - 18 transparent?  Chimera has trouble with 
more than one transparent model, although I would not expect that to be 
a problem raytracing a movie.

   By the way the "modeldisplay#N" commands should have a space before 
the "#".  The command is "modeldisplay" and "#N" is the argument.  I am 
amazed that works without a space, but I tested and it does work and I 
don't think that is related to your missing models.

	Tom
