Re: [Chimera-users] New 64-bit Linux version of Chimera
by Thomas Goddard 18 May '05

The 64-bit Linux Chimera 1.2123 installer was broken. A packaged file did not have execute permission. The fixed version is on the download page now with the same version number and date. If you got the broken version (by downloading in the past 8 hours), please try again. Sorry for the gaff. Tom

Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to draw a user specified object. For example, draw a cylinder (bond) from vertex x to vertex y. Thank you. Reza rkhayat(a)scripps.edu

New 64-bit Linux version of Chimera
by Thomas Goddard 17 May '05

17 May '05

A new 64-bit Linux Chimera snapshot (version 1.2123) is available on the Chimera download page. http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/download.html Unless you are viewing large data sets (> 1 Gb), we suggest you use 32-bit versions of Chimera on 64-bit Linux systems. 32-bit versions will likely run faster and use less memory. The 32-bit versions are more likely to be compatible with your Linux distribution. We are not yet making regular distributions for 64-bit linux so our 32-bit version will usually be newer. Tom

Re: [Chimera-users] Exporting VRML of MSMS surfaces

matching scale for different sessions
by jinghua＠ucsd.edu 16 May '05

16 May '05

to our friendly developer, Is there a way to specify the physical size for a view, so that different sized molecule or map is shown at the same physical scale from different sessions. By the way, is there a command to specify the pixel size of the window? the shrink to fit or grow to fit doesn't work well. many thanks!

Hello, I have a question concerning the surface resolution of multiscale models. My intention was to create a surface from pdb data, export it as vrml and reimport it in maya for further animation, shading etc. It works quite well (I had to convert the vrml file in ascii with Deep Explorer first) but the problem is, that I do not get a fine surface with all its convexities and sites for binding. This is important for my work because I would like to animate receptor binding and subsequent signaling in maya. I am looking for a fine surface like these MSMS main surface from pdb data. I do not need many copies of single pdb surfaces but I guess I will only get a #real# surface using the multiscale models tool?? I tried to change the surface resolution (the best result was with resolution: 3, threshold atom density 0.00, smoothing factor 0.5 and smoothing interations 2/3) but I was not able to create a really fine surface. Is there any possibility to get a finer surface (like MSMS main surface) for VRML export? If not, do you have an idea if there are other tools to do that? It would be rally great if you could give me a short reply. Thanks a lot in advance (and sorry for my english...). Best regards Ute

Scale bar in Chimera
by Haixiao Gao 09 May '05

09 May '05

Hi, I have a problem with the "scale bar" option in Chimera. I was trying to show the scale bar together with a EM density map in spider/brix format. Howerver, it seems that when I changed zoom in/out position, the size change of the "scale bar" is not proportional to the size change of the density map? My chimera version is win32, bata version from 12/15/2004. Thanks for the help! -Haixiao

We've put code in the Chimera 1.2121 snapshot (released May 5, 2005) to work around a bug in the Apple OpenGL driver that caused Chimera to crash when displaying molecule ribbons. You need to use Chimera 1.2121 or later on Mac OS 10.4. Tom

i'm trying out the secondary structure matching stuff that Eric wrote, and i'm wondering if there is a updated Sequence.py package (that has the StructureSequence functions)? b/c the new MatchMaker/__init__.py trys to import StructureSequence, but its not in chimera/Sequence.py. -bryan
