Hi Elaine,<div><br></div><div>Thank you for such a comprehensive email! </div><div><br></div><div>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:</div>
<div><br></div><div>STL</div><div>VRML</div><div>3DS</div><div>ZPR</div><div>PLY</div><div><br></div><div>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?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thank you for your time. </div><div><br></div><div>Bilal Asif</div><div>Stony Brook University, NY</div>
