[Chimera-users] error or bug

[Arthur Szabo]

Elaine

I appreciate it is very difficult to visualize what I have been trying to do.

I have tried the commands that you suggested, but without success.

Just ot repeat for clarity sake, perhaps there is no way I can achieve my desired goal.

I have a protein with 1200 residues, and I have been able  to generate a ribbon model of three of the key domains.

I  would like to show these domains as surfaces rather than ribbon diagrams. I just get various error messages.

No success despite my trying the suggestions that you gave to me.

I may not have applied the suggestions as you indicated.

Thanks for  your assistance.

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
