Hi Kevin,

  Yes, the settings that produced the surface coloring using Render by
Attribute are not saved in the session, only the coloring is.  I agree
that the settings should be saved.  Eric Pettersen wrote the Render by
Attribute code and can comment on whether this will happen in the future.

Hi Thomas,

The colors do correctly restore, but if the render by attribute window

is opened again, the data about the color doesn't seem to be saved. I

cannot modify the colors or values.

Thanks!

Hi Kevin,

I tried coloring PDB 1a0m surface (Actions / Surface / show) by

bfactor, saving a session, restarting, opening session, and the colors

were correctly restored in Chimera versions 1.3 and 1.4 (daily build).

Maybe you are using an older Chimera?  Chimera menu Help / About UCSF

Chimera will tell you the version.  Another possibility is that you

are display some other kind of surface (e.g. a density map isosurface)

where the coloring is not recorded in the session.

Hi all,

I'm having trouble saving some data to the session. I've rendered a

figure using the "render/select by attribute" by either the occupancy

or beta field in a pdb file. However, when I save session and restore

it, the colors that I've chosen seem to be erased, and need to be

reset again. Is there a way to save this data?

Thanks in advance!
