[chimerax-users] [Chimera-users] FW: Contributing to ChimeraX ?

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Nicholas,

  The ChimeraX OBJ reader is all in Python with source code included in the distribution.

Windows
	chimerax/bin/lib/site-packages/chimerax/wavefront_obj

Linux
	chimerax/lib/python3.6/site-packages/chimerax/wavefront_obj

Mac
	ChimeraX.app/Contents/lib/python3.6/site-packages/chimerax/wavefront_obj

The ChimeraX git repository is here

	https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/trac/ChimeraX/browser <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/trac/ChimeraX/browser>

I don’t think the repository can be cloned due to access restrictions, but here is some info about that and you can try and see if it works.
