[Chimera-users] How to get central cross section which pass through two asigned cross axis

[Jian Guan]

Dear all,
I have a density map of virus-Fab complex. I want to make a central cross
section which pass through the Fab pseudo-symmetry 2-fold axis. I have
measure the angle of Fab relative to the capsid. 
Hope someone can help me.
Thank you so much.
Sincerely yours,
Jian

Hi Tetsuro,
	The issue is that unlike using the command line or IDLE or running a
chimera-command script, no frames get drawn during the execution of a Python
script unless explicitly requested and therefore the "rock" command in your
script doesn't actually do anything until after the entire script runs, and
by that time your coordinate file has already been written.
	To get the rock command to complete before proceeding with the rest
of the script you need to append "; wait" or "; wait 1" (since you are
rocking for 1 frame) to the end of your rock command.
