[Chimera-users] Fitting model into map

[Dieter Blaas]

Hi,

     I always spend many hours placing a pdb model into a density map of 
a virus with Tools > Volume Data > Fit in Map. Usually I have to move 
the model around to find a more or less good fit manually, otherwise 
Chimera does not find anything. I also tried by first making a molmap 
followed by something like 'fitmap #0 #1 resolution 4'. I am convinced 
that there is a better way of doing this but so far I was unable to find 
it. Can anybody please give me a quick hint!

Thanks, Dieter
