[chimerax-users] Pymol view

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Othman,
Sorry no, Chimera and ChimeraX cannot read Pymol session files.  By  "view" I'm guessing you mean colors, display styles, etc.   If you meant only the orientation of the structure, maybe Pymol has an option to save a PDB file of the currently transformed coordinates, which could then be opened in Chimera or ChimeraX, but that still would not include the exact amount of zoom.

If somebody else has created a converter for Pymol session -> Chimera (or ChimeraX) session, we are not aware of it.

Best Regards,
Elaine
