Hi Tatiana, Sure, just open multiple .mrc files (for example with "File... Open" in the main menu or "File... Open map" in the Volume Viewer menu). Each will be treated as a "model" in Chimera. You can freeze/ unfreeze any of the models using the "Active" checkboxes in the Model Panel (under Favorites in the main Chimera menu). By freeze I mean make the model unresponsive to movement with the mouse or various movement commands, while the others remain movable. When you have a lot of data open, however, interactive responsiveness may become an issue depending on the capabilities of your computer. I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Dear Chimera-team,
Can I load several .mrc maps at a time and rotate them one against another?
Thanks,
Tatiana
