Hi Dieter, Sometimes I find it easier to use the volume command to specify the exact region bounds with the "region" option volume #0 region 0,0,60,127,127,67 The six numbers are the i,j,k minimum grid index and i,j,k maximum grid index. Indices start at 0. Tom

Hi Dieter, The volume command documentation gives syntax for the "planes" option: <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/volume.html#planes>
As explained in the above, it would be something like
volume #0 style surface planes z,64,64,1,8
...where the last number in the comma-separated list is the depth. I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C. Meng, Ph.D. UCSF Chimera(X) team Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry University of California, San Francisco

Hi, I am trying to display a volume (128 px box) sliced through the middle as seen down the z axis but 8 slices thick instead of just one.
I can render a single slice with "vol #0 style surface plane z,64" but I could not find out how to make it e.g. 8 slices thick. In VolumeViewer there is the parameter 'Depth' but it is not accepted as parameter in the command line! Rater, adding one more number at the end of the command starts playing a movie of one slice after the other....
Thanks a lot for hints, bw Dieter
