[chimerax-users] Saving models in ChimeraX

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Tiglath,
Of course you can save any atomic structure that is in ChimeraX, and save it in any location where you have permission to write files.

Try menu: File... Save, that will probably be easiest and let you browse to the location (folder) that you want.
<http://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/menu.html#file>

You can also do it with the "save" command but you would need to specify the location in the filename as a pathname, e.g.  to save model 2.4 (this is for me on a mac, details would be different for you):

save /Users/meng/Desktop/keep/junk.pdb models #2.4

The folder location would need to exist before you put it in the command.  

>From the "save" help:
"...filename, which can be a pathname including the directory location. The pathname can be absolute or relative to the current working directory as reported by pwd."

I hope this helps,
Elaine
