[chimerax-users] Help with surfaces

[Eoin Winston]

Hello,

I create molecular animations and use ChimeraX to import PDB files and
convert them to surfaces which I then export for use in Autodesk 3dsmax.

I have a very limited understanding of this fantastic software however I am
wondering if there is a quick way to solve my problem.  I have a PDB file I
was sent containing a trimer. When I use a command such as:

*molmap #13,1 20 *(I found this on a YouTube video BTW)

It creates a surface model of the entire PDB file. How do I create separate
surface models for each of the trimers? So the PDB exports with three
meshes as opposed to a single mesh.

Hope that makes sense.

Best regards,

Eoin
