Hi Elaine, I tried submitting a new question to the list, but received a response that I’m not a list member.
I am trying to output some models in PDB format and am having problems getting the coordinates of the sports to align properly when read back in.
I haven’t been able to figure what I'm doing wrong.
Your help will be appreciated.
Jim
Hi Jim, That message is probably caused by sending the message from a different address than what is signed up to the list. If so, your question has to be approved by the moderator (not me) but usually it is within a day. Otherwise we would be inundated with spam messages from addresses that aren't list members. Re your question: If you moved one model relative to the other and want to maintain their relationship, you need to use the save "relative" option. Doesn't matter which model is relative to which, as long as they are all relative to the same model. This is in both the File... Save dialog and the "write" command. <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/write.html> These are the address for managing list subscriptions (Chimera and ChimeraX users) <https://mail.cgl.ucsf.edu/mailman/mailman3/lists/chimera-users.cgl.ucsf.edu/> <https://mail.cgl.ucsf.edu/mailman/mailman3/lists/chimerax-users.cgl.ucsf.edu...> ChimeraX has an analogous relative saving option for PDB files in both the File... Save dialog and the "save" command (instead of Chimera's "write" command). Elaine ----- Elaine C.
