Hello all!

I'm looking to the scripts (http://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/trac/chimera/attachment/wiki/Scripts/) and can not see a simple example of how to open a PDB.

What I need to my extension is to save a PDB relative to a map and then open it to the model panel.

Copying it to the model panel does not make sense to me because I need to fix the positions of the moved PDB relative to the map.

Could it be something like this?

# Get opened molecule (the one selected in the menu)

m = self.object_menu.getvalue()

# Make copy using the copy_molecule native functionality from Chimera

from Molecule import copy_molecule

mc = copy_molecule(m)

# Set copy name

mc.name = m.name.split('.')[0] + '_' + self.chosen_solution + '.pdb'

copy_path = self.cwd + mc.name

from Midas import open, write

write(mc, self.map_menu.volume(), self.cwd)

open(self.cwd)

Thank you in advance!
