Hi Robert,

  This is pretty easy to do in Chimera using the "Values at Atom Positions" and "Render by Attribute" dialogs.  Here's a video showing how.

This and more videos are on the Chimera video tutorial web page

 I was wondering if there was a script available that  would get the map density values of amino aid residues  in a model fitted to an EM or X-ray density map and then write the data to a text file?

Essentially what I need is something that does something like this (but not laboriously by hand)

e.g. in command line mode

select #1:1.B

then I use Tools>Volume Data>Fit in Map and click 'Update' to get the average map density value for the atoms in amino acid residue number 1 in chain B of model 1. 

Many thanks for your help
