2. I have tried to export the scene to a .wrl file and convert it to maya file via wrl2ma, but when I open the finish converted maya file it always give me lots of error messages like this : "Error: file: C:/Users/**/hemo_ribbon.ma <http://ribbon.ma> line 116: setAttr: Too much data was provided. The last 173 elements were not used. // " and this :"// Error: file: C:/Users/**/hemo_ribbon.ma <http://ribbon.ma> line 13078: setAttr: Too much data was provided.

Seems like wrl2ma has a limit on how many vertices in a surface it can handle. Try reducing the vertex density of molecular surfaces and see if that helps. There is also the chance that is it a bug in Chimera's VRML export. So first, update your Chimera to version 1.8 and check again -- the bug may have already been fixed. Next, try viewing the generated .wrl file with a VRML viewer, e.g., BS Contact, Octaga Player, or Chimera! If it displays correctly, then the bug is Maya's. If you do submit a Chimera bug report, please include a Chimera session that will reproduce the error. HTH, Greg
