Hi Filip, Ah yes, a commonly asked question. The problem is that map formats do not accomodate rotation information. Please see here for solutions for "saving maps after fitting": <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/savemodel.html#afterfitting> Best, Elaine ---------- Elaine C.

Dear chimera users,
I have a problem with saving a cryoEM map after rotating/translating it. I've used the 'fit in map' option to superpose 2 maps (in ccp4 format) This seems to work fine, but when I save the reoriented map (in any of the available formats), and try to open it, it is back to the original position.
Is there any way to save the reoriented map file?
Best regards,
