[Chimera-users] merging 3D volumes

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Thomas,
The command "vop add" merges maps. (There is a similar "vop subtract" command too.)  If the maps are not on the same grid, this resamples as needed. It lets you specify a subregion (which planes to use) from the reference map.

I hope this is what you had in mind,
Elaine
