Hi Christos, The problem using the Record button on the Morph Map tool was that it was always writing the movie in Quicktime format no matter what format you actually chose. Thanks for identifying the problem. I've fixed it and the updated version is on the experimental features web page: http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/experimental/experimental.html Greg Couch works on the Chimera povray code and will answer that part of your email. I didn't put the fit map in map tool on the experimental features page because it is part of the standard Chimera distribution available in version 1.2318 (snapshots for linux and ppc mac only). We will soon (within a week?) have a new Chimera snapshot on all platforms that includes fit map in map. It is not yet possible to save a map fit into another map in a new map file. The trouble is that none of the map file formats can include a rotation so it would be necessary to resample the data on a new grid. That can reduce the resolution. Still we plan on offering that in the future. You can currently save a Chimera session and the rotated map position is recorded. But of course that is not useful for importing the rotated map into other software. Tom
