I've got a question about controlling the scale of protein models in .stl files generated by Chimera under File/Export Scene in the GUI.
I'm trying to print a 3D model of two interacting proteins with a rapid prototyping machine that takes .stl files as input. The two proteins are co-crystalized and contained in one .pdb file (1nbf). I want the two proteins to be printed at the same scale so that I could fit them together like legos. Can I achieve this by getting a scale set, then showing just the first chain and exporting the data to a .stl file, followed by showing just the other chain and exporting the data to a second .stl file?
I'm a novice to Chimera, so I might be missing something obvious. Any help you offer will be appreciated.
