[chimerax-users] transparency

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Krishnan,
I could not reproduce this problem.  I tried ChimeraX 1.4 and a newer daily build, both preserved surface transparency when the morph (atomic or map) was played back.  Example commands for atomic morph:

open 2gbp
open 2fw0
mm #2 to #1
morph #1,2
surf #3
trans 50

Now the surface is 50% transparent, and when I play back the morph with the slider, it stays transparent.

Similarly when I created a map morph (with "volume morph") the transparency was preserved when I played back the morph.

I hope this helps,
Elaine
