[chimerax-users] ChimeraX does not yet have Animation tool

[Elaine Meng]

ChimeraX does not have this surface problem, so you could use ChimeraX.

However, if you still need Chimera (because of Animation or some other reason), this page gives some possible workarounds for showing a surface in Chimera:

I hope this helps,
Elaine

With high-performance rendering of large structures and data, the ability to quickly and microfiber slim readers and write millimeter ciliates, fast and robust solvent elimination surfaces, interactive ambient occlusion lighting, and curved cylindrical "tube" spirals with cartoon integration, our research team especially loves your software. Compared with UCSF Chimera1.16, we found that ChimeraX lacks the function of Organization, but we really need this function, how can we choose to use ChimeraX to solve the problem of missing this function? Can we use this feature as an external software plug into The SummerX?
