[chimerax-users] volume morph

[Tom Goddard]

Would be nice if the volume morph showed a slider so you could move through the morph.  I'll add a feature request for that.

But you can replay the morph you created by adding the "model" option to the morph command, for example,

	volume morph #1,2 model #3

which avoids creating a new morph which would happen if you rerun your command without the model option.
