[chimerax-users] Assistance: ChimeraX save scene

[Guillaume Gaullier]

Priyanka,

Sorry, but I don’t know the answer to your question off the top of my head, and I won’t have time to figure it out this week. As I already recommended, please email the list chimerax-users at cgl.ucsf.edu <mailto:chimerax-users at cgl.ucsf.edu> (copied to this email) and not me (or anybody else) individually: you will get answers faster this way, because the people who develop ChimeraX monitor this mailing-list and are really good at answering questions; it is also more useful for everybody, since questions and answers sent to the list get archived and become searchable on the list’s website.

I hope somebody can help you solve your problem soon. Good luck.

Guillaume
