[Chimera-users] saving coordinates from a session and re-opening them in another one

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Boaz,
You're welcome!

I'm pretty sure the PDB file you sent had all the atoms: first I used Selection Inspector to see how many atoms were selected in your session, then I opened the PDB file and selected only its contents, same number of atoms.  Just wanted to reassure you  8-)

Also another thing I forgot to mention is that "displayed" can include things that are not visible because they are off to the side or beyond the front/back clipping planes.  After I opened your PDB I moved the clipping planes to show all of its atoms  (also could be done with the command "focus").

Best regards and sorry about the confusing display!
Elaine

I did try to edit the saved-pdb file but edited out the secondary structure (sheet, helix) cards rather than the connect cards. Thanks for pointing this out. As for hiding ribbons and showing all atoms: I think I tried something like that but it didn't bring back all the atoms. I'll try again with the new file. Next time I'll use the 'report but' button.
