Peggy, Tom graciously answers enough of my requests, so I can take some of the slack from him here, I asked this recently (Re: [Chimera-users] Volume transformation based on Phenix symmetry operators). You can use the ‘matrixset command. Save your 4x3 matrix to a text file with a header ‘Model 2.0’ then in chimera use the following: setmatrix /path/to/matrix/text/file This will translate and rotate model #2 according to the matrix in the file you saved from the reply log. This function is documented here http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/home/meng/docs/UsersGuide/midas/matrixset.html. Have fun!

Could anyone help me to apply the same matrix and rotation to the third image? Thank you for your help! Sincerely, Peggy -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
