[chimerax-users] ChineraX saves huge session files

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Dror,

Molecular surfaces make sessions very large.  Even if you hide the molecular surface with the toolbar it is still present and undisplayed as a submodel of your structure so it goes into sessions.  You can close molecular surfaces with "surface close".  If that is not the issue you would need to give a specific example, like open 1abc and save test.cxs generates a session of size N Mbytes.
