[chimerax-users] Morph map parts transformation in a complex

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Hong,
As mentioned in the volume morph" help, 
<https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/volume.html#morph <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/volume.html#morph>>

"the input maps should have the same grids: dimensions, spacing, and numbers of points. Note volume resample can be used to make a copy of one map that has the same grid as another."

Here is the "volume resample" help, with explanation that you can lose some resolution from resampling:
<https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/volume.html#resample <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/volume.html#resample>>

There is also a "volume add" if you are just trying to put different parts together, rather than morphing:
<https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/volume.html#add <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/volume.html#add>>

I hope this helps,
Elaine
