Hi Amichai, Chimera computes density map isosurfaces using the marching cubes algorithm. It can be saved in various file formats for example OBJ, others are described with the export command https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/export.html <https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/export.html> Tom

Hi Chimera support,

I have 2 questions:

1. How does Chimera calculate the mesh from the density map?

2. How can I save the mesh as a file?

Thanks a lot, Amichai Holzer Huji _______________________________________________ Chimera-dev mailing list Chimera-dev@cgl.ucsf.edu http://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/mailman/listinfo/chimera-dev
