Hmm.  The link below returns a page with the error message "invalid input type".  Going to the PubChem/Pub3D URL returns a page with the error message "Not Found [MAIN PAGE]".  Perhaps there's something going on with the PubChem server?  I'll try checking on it again later.

I tried to read an SDF file directly downloaded from pubchem into
Chimera. However, I ran into the following problem (link to example file
used, and reply log below). Is this expected behaviour, or a bug?

Additionally I tried to import the pubchem CID 71739 (same compound)
from the fetch structure by ID tab, and got the error message:
Unexpected end of file (parser state: counts) in MOL/SDF file 'FILEPATH
HERE!'

Many thanks in advance,
