surface calculation failed, mscalc returned code -11

Hi, I have been trying to generate a surface model of a relatively larger molecule yet a single chain and have been getting the error (surface calculation failed, mscalc returned code -11). I have tried several options like splitting but have failed to get rid of this error and generate the surface model. Looking forward to your help Best Regards Sunny -- Sunny Sharma, PhD RNA Molecular Biology FRS/F.N.R.S. Université Libre de Bruxelles Rue Profs Jeener & Brachet, 12 B-6041 Gosselies, Belgium.

Hi Sunny, Please see our “surface workarounds” page, especially #3 “molmap” command if your goal is simply surface display. <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/surfprobs.html> For future reference, chimera-users@cgl.ucsf.edu is the more relevant email address for general usage questions (chimera-dev is more for programming), but don’t worry about it this time!

Hi Elaine, Thanks you for your prompt reply and please excuse me for forwarding the mail to you guys instead of chimera-users. I will take care of that from next time. Cheers Sunny On 4/7/16 12:13 AM, Elaine Meng wrote:
