[chimerax-users] measure blob - persistent color?

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Alexis,
I’m not sure how you are hiding and showing the volume object.  All the methods I tried for hiding/showing already do preserve the blob color from measure blobs:

- toggle using eye icon in Volume Viewer
- toggle using checkbox under eye icon in Model Panel
- command “hide” (hide #1; show #1)
- command “volume” with “hide” option (vol #1 hide; vol #1 show)
