Hi Hannah, I do not know the answer to your question, but suggest trying ChimeraX instead of Chimera. ChimeraX reads the same bild format and is generally much better with large data. <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/> <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/download.html> <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/formats/bild.html> I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Hi all, I would like to visualize in Chimera the orientations from some angdist.bild files output from relion. I am able to open some .bild files (up to ~5.6MB in size) but I get "not responding" from Chimera when I try to open .bild files ~10-70MB (lots of particles and high angular sampling). I tried on a machine with more RAM but it was the same. Any hints about how to open these or is it just not possible? Best wishes Hannah
