ResMap, a program that calculates local resolutions for cryoEM maps, also provides a chimera script to visualize the local resolution. This script opens Volume #0 (cryoEM map), and colors its regions using the values from Volume #1 (ResMap-generated file) as follows: open #0 example_map.mrc open #1 example_map_resmap.mrc volume #1 hide scolor #0 volume #1 cmap 3.00,blue:5.00,cyan:7.00,green:9.00,yellow:11.00,orange:13.00,red I was wondering if there is a way to generate split maps based on the resolutions stored in Volume #1 instead of just coloring the original map. Alternatively, is there way to play with the transparency of the regions with specific resolutions stored in Volume #1. The goal is to separate low resolution regions from the higher resolution regions in the original map to be able to better understand/annotate the accuracy of atomic models that are generated based on the map. I tried to look for ways to do this using 'volume', 'scolor zone', and 'vop' options, but was unable to make any progress. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Nilesh
