Finding Coordinates of Maps

Dear Chimera Dev Team, I have a chimera session with the ~500 maps overlayed onto a tomogram saved, and I would like to get their coordinates in relation to the tomogram on which they are overlayed. I am unsure how to get started on this and wanted to know if you had any pointers as to where to start. Best, Max

Hi Max, How about trying the ChimeraX matrixget command to output the positions of all the models to a file? https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/matrixset.html This gives both the rotation (a 3x3 matrix in the first 3 columns) and a translation (4th column). The translation is in Angstroms, not in grid index units. Tom

Hi Max, Since this mailing list is for Chimera, I assume you are using our old Chimera program, and not our current ChimeraX program. The answer I gave is for the old Chimera program. Tom
