[Chimera-users] error or bug

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Arthur,
The “molmap” command creates a surface by first simulating a denstiy map from the atom coordinates and then showing an isosurface of that “density.”  That is why the Volume Viewer dialog for viewing density maps automatically pops up.  When you say you move the cursor in the “molmap window” what you are really doing is changing the isosurface contour level in the Volume Viewer dialog.

Otherwise I have no idea what you have done, or even what your question is, sorry.
Elaine
