[chimerax-users] measure blob - persistent color?

[Alexis Rohou]

Hi Elaine,

I am toggling using the eye icon in the volume viewer.

This is with v 0.91 (2019-06-20).

Steps:
- start chimera
- open .mrc volume
- adjust volume step size to 1, isosurface level, rotation
- ui mousemode rightMode "pick blobs"
- measure blob by right-clicking on a blob; blob is now colored (dark
blue) and boxed (light green)
- toggle eye icon. Volume is hidden
- toggle eye icon. Volume surface is shown, blob is boxed but not
colored anymore (it has the same grey color as the rest of the volume.

I can try and reproduce with the latest daily later today maybe.

Cheers,
Alexis
