Hi Elaine, Thank you for such a comprehensive email! We had some follow up questions, however, which we were hoping you would be able to answer. We are attempting to use Chimera to model proteins, and then print them using a 3D printer (ZCorp software). The following file types are compatible with the printer software: STL VRML 3DS ZPR PLY Can Chimera save in any of these formats, that can be used to print proteins? How would one save the session as one of these? Additionally, I had a question about saving the session in Chimera, to preserve labels and colored atoms. Is such a saved session a Chimera-specific file, where it cannot be read by external programs? Thank you for your time. Bilal Asif Stony Brook University, NY
