[Chimera-users] comparing maps with different orientations

[Cathy Lawson]

Thanks Tom,
I knew you’d have a good suggestion — I’ll try it out!

Open a copy of the atomic structure in and put it in the orientation you want for the maps, I’ll call this the reference structure (#0).  Now open your first map (#1) with its fit structure (#2).  Align the fit atomic structure with the reference atomic structure

You might want to save the reference model in the desired orientation as a Chimera session file so you can rerun with exactly the same orientation at a later date if you decide to change something (e.g. image size, background color).
