Problem solved! Sorry, but it seems all I needed to do was show the atoms and bonds. Chimera is reading the file it just doesn't show anything until you tell it to show atoms and bonds. Another surprise with the new Chimera version is that it automatically displays my nucleic acid files with slab bases, filled sugars, and a backbone ribbon. Is there anyway to shut this off so I don't have to go in and manually do it each time I open a nucleic acid structure?
Hi Dave, We don't typically work with systems with no ribbon-able biopolymers and no non-solvent small molecules, so had failed to note that the "smart" initial display shows nothing in these cases. We will be fixing this pronto. There is a Trac ticket for this (#7979) that I will be adding you to so that you'll know when the fix happens. Should be today or tomorrow. --Eric
