[chimerax-users] [Chimera-users] Rotation along symmetry axys

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Leonardo,

  As Elaine said, rotating the view in ChimeraX does not change what is saved in the map (*.mrc) file.  The data needs to be rearranged in the 3D array.  That can be done with the ChimeraX "volume resample" command (in Chimera it is called vop resample) but that interpolates the data on a new grid, and it would be better to just rotate the 3D data array so you don't get interpolation errors.  I made a ChimeraX command to do that "volume rotate_90" available on the ChimeraX Recipes web site.

We no longer develop Chimera so I provide this for ChimeraX.

	Tom

I would like to rotate the map 90 degree in the z axys, so that Z axys now separate the molecule in a C2 pseudosymmetry, in order to play with some symmetry relaxation features to refine differences in the two map vortexes.
