[chimerax-users] Open a PDB-formatted file and a MTZ file

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Winston,

  The command would look like

	open /Users/jin/data/myfile.mtz structure #1

where #1 is the id number of the PDB structure that you have already opened -- the correct number will be listed in the Models panel in ChimeraX.  Each model you open gets a number starting at 1.

	Tom

For now, you can do it at the command line using "open filename.mtz structureModel #{model id}", or via the "Load crystallographic dataset" button on ISOLDE's GUI.
