Hi Juleen, In our newer program ChimeraX there is the "mark connected" command that places a marker on each connected piece of a surface. https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/marker.html I just added a "stats" option to output measurements for each blob including the surface area, enclosed volume, and number of holes. This will be tonight's ChimeraX builds. https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/download.html#daily <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/download.html#daily> The mark connected command originally from this ChimeraX example code https://rbvi.github.io/chimerax-recipes/mark_blobs/mark_blobs.html Tom

Good Morning Everyone,
I fear the answer to my question is probably 'no' but I wanted to ask the experts first. I have segmentation of vesicles that I did from a cryo-EM tomogram that I did in EMAN2. I can open the segmentations and view them in chimera, however, I wanted to find a way to extract volume and surface area data on the segmentations so I can do statistics on them. If I use the Volume--> Measure and color blobs, the individual blob information will show up in the log. I am not sure if this information is accurate. Is there away to do this for all of the vesicles and download the data, maybe with the volume--> Segment map? If so, how do I do it? Thanks for your help.
Cheers, Juleen
