[Chimera-users] Movies and Symetries

[Eric Pettersen]

Hello,
	As far as I know you will have to run a script every frame to create the assembly and color it the way you want.  It is pretty easy to run a script every frame of a trajectory.  Use MD Movie's Per-Frame→Define script... menu item to bring up a dialog to run commands every frame.  In the dialog make sure you change the "Interpret script as" value to "Chimera commands".  The command to expand the BIOMT records is:

	sym

This will create full atomic coordinate copies.  You could use the "surfaces true" argument to only make surface copies instead.  I'm a little hazy on exactly what you are saying about how you want to do the coloring, but whatever it is you just need to determine what the equivalent commands are and add them to the script.  Each symmetry copy has its own model number (look at the Model Panel), so to color them you should be able to do something like "color red #1.1".
	Clicking OK in the dialog will accept the commands you've entered and you should be able to just play through your trajectory normally.  The playback will likely be slow due to the overhead of running 'sym' every frame.
