Dear Chimera developers and sophisticated users,

I have trouble to show the surfaces of serveral crystal structures, including 1rzk and 2b4c. Whenever I select: Action/Surface/Show, I would get pop-up error window and the following message in my Reply Log:

C:\Program Files\Chimera\bin\mscalc.exe 1.400000 2.000000 0
Surface calculation failed, mscalc returned code 5
C:\Program Files\Chimera\bin\mscalc.exe 1.400000 2.000000 0
Surface calculation failed, mscalc returned code 5

Since I don't have problem with other pdb files, such as 3dnn, I wonder if this problem is simply associated with some particular pdb files? If anyone out there knows a few tricks to overcome this, I'd really appreciate it.

Many thanks in advance,

Sean
