Hi Magnus, After placing a marker use the command (Favorites / Command Line) getcrd sel to show the coordinates in the status line and reply log (Favorites / Reply Log). The "sel" part of the command means to show the coordinates of selected objects. After you place a marker it is selected (green outline). If it becomes unselected use ctrl-click on it to select it. The coordinates are the volume x,y,z coordinate system using the voxel size and origin specified in the volume dialog coordinates panel. (Actually the coordinates are those of the marker model which will match the volume as long as you don't move one with the other frozen.) If you want array index coordinates you should set the voxel size to 1 and origin to 0,0,0. There is no way to get coordinates of a point without placing a marker. The trouble is how would you specify the depth using just the mouse? Tom Magnus Gedda wrote:
Hello,
I'm quite new to Chimera and have a small but annoying problem. I can place a marker in the volume and move it around, but I cannot find a way to see the xyz coordinate of the marker. How do I do this? Is there any other way to find out the xyz coordinates of a position in the volume?
Best regards,
Magnus
