Dear Richard, You can turn off warning dialogs in the preferences (Favorites... Preferences): in category "Messages" you can specify that warning messages be sent to the "reply log only." You can also do that for error messages, but I believe that this particular surface message is a warning. Remember to click Save if you want the setting to propagate to later uses of Chimera. It may be that we didn't discuss these preferences on the list before, at least in connection with surface calculations. Best, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Dear Elaine,
I get the error most of the times when I run a surface calculation. However, in more than 99.9% of all cases I run so far the outer surface was ok. However, the popup window reporting the error caused me some trouble sometimes. When I try to record a movie the window sometimes pops in front of the chimera graphics window and is therefore also rendered into the movie, which does not look very nice ;-)
Is it possible to switch off the popup window? It would be sufficient for me if the error message would be written to the reply log.
I beg your pardon if you mentioned the answer in any of the previous posts you mentioned. I read through all of them but couldn't find a solution.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / With kind regards
