Thank you Elaine and Tom, Elaine, even after changing the .py and restarting chimera, the model points won't open... But thank you for the help anyway. Tom, I will wait for tomorrow to download ChimeraX, thanks! Best, Luiza On Sat, 12 Dec 2020 at 19:11, Tom Goddard <goddard@sonic.net> wrote:
Hi Luiza,
Our newer program ChimeraX can read points from imod files. You have to open it with the "contours true" option, for example,
open ~/Desktop/particles.imod contours true

I just tested it and it gave an error. I fixed the code so tonight's ChimeraX build will be able to read IMOD points and contour lines. The daily builds are below the releases on the download page

Good morning,
Is it possible to open IMOD .mod file in chimera? I am trying to do so, and I select the IMOD .mod file in the pop-up window asking about the file type, but nothing is showing up (blue initial chimera window unchanged), even though the log states 'finished opening file'. My .mod file is just XYZ scattered points. Do I need to do any conversion before being able to open it? I appreciate any help.
