Question about save images
by Chang, Jufang 29 Apr '24

29 Apr '24

Hi, there, I used Chimera for a very short period of time. When I just started using Chimera I was able to save image by going to "file" and "save image" to save the image on the display window. For some reason, this stopped working. Now, after I did the same thing, the image I saved has complete blackness (attached). I wonder whether I might get be able to get help from you. I also tried using command line to save image. The result is the same. The exact procedure I used are: Go to "Presets", choose "publication 1" , then go to "File" and "save image" I used window system.

Hi, Does Chimera have a built-in function to save the map after it is fit into another map? The current save map could not save the new orientation and new location. Thanks, Weimin

Centering icosahedron and capsid in the same place in Chimera
by Elaine Meng 15 Sep '22

15 Sep '22

Hi Heather, Maybe your other capsid coordinates just happened to be centered on the default location for centering the icosahedron, but this one has offset coordinates. Still you could just move one or the other (capsid or icosahedron) so that they are centered in the same place. In Chimera (not ChimeraX) you can deactivate/activate models for motion so that only the active ones move with the mouse. I.e. uncheck the model number in the "Active models" list under the command line so that only the other one moves with the mouse. Other ways described here: <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/mouse.html#activedef> I cc'd Chimera-users because the details in this message are about Chimera rather than ChimeraX. I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

I appreciate your help on the inner volume from before both methods with blob and shape, I think I have been able to tailor it for my usage. I also have been using the icosahedron surface in Chimera, and have not had any issues until this capsid, why is it not forming inside the capsid? Did I do something?

Pdb saved in Chimera not displaying upon opening
by Magdalena Riad 09 Sep '22

09 Sep '22

Hi, I have opened a pdb structure of a ribosome, hidden parts of it and then saved a new pdb of the displayed atoms through “File->Save pdb” ticking “save displayed atoms only”. When I try to open this saved pdb file, Chimera states “Opened ….pdb”, however, it does not display. The model panel is empty etc. Checking the pdb file in textedit, it does contain the secondary structure information and all the amino acids but it seems to lack coordinate information, see pictures below of parts of it. I’ve also tried to save the pdb through “Actions-> write pdb”. Do you know how I can solve this issue? Is it a saving issue or a displaying issue?
