[chimerax-users] Unable to run the option region all

[Edoardo D Imprima]

Dear all,

I saved two sessions with different data to make a movie using the same command lines. However, I am not able to obtain the same result when I use the command volume region.

In one instance Chimerax renders the whole 3D volumes I selected with “volume #x-y region all". In a second session, with different data but virtually the same commands, the rendering halts at the step before (~disp #1). I am puzzled because in both instances the logs show the command  “volume #x-y region all” as executed. And, in the “faulty session" if I manually input the same command that I passed through the script it eventually shows the complete regions of the volumes. 

Could you please help me to understand what am I doing wrong? I am using ChimeraX 1.4 on Linux. I am pasting here the piece of the scripts that work and do not respectively,

Many thanks in advance,

Edoardo
