Hi Tom, I was trying out some of those new scene export functions in Chimera that you showed me a while back, and I've been running into some issues. I've got a large ribbon structure that I wanted to export as VRML, but Chimera only wrote a small file that couldn't be opened. Using notepad, all the file included was the following: #VRML V2.0 utf8 Transform { children [ ] } Saving as a X3d file seemed to work (seemed like a reasonable size at 10 MB) but I couldn't use the translator (X3dToVrml97.xslt) to change to VRML since it appeared to run into memory issues. Trying to save as POV or Renderman either failed or crashed Chimera. Any suggestions? Janet ------- End of forwarded message -------
