[Chimera-users] Problems with using volume series in ChimeraX

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Sarah,
It may be that the map is just opened as models #1.1-#1.19 without being recognized as a series.  I don't know you opened it, but you may need to use the "open" command and specify "vseries true".

Opening and viewing a volume series: <http://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/trajectories.html#vseries>

I hope this helps,
Elaine
