I am aware of this limitation in the interface and intend to remedy it. Until then, you can instead use the "rangecolor" command to make your color range span any set of values. "help rangecolor" in the command line will bring up the documentation for the rangecolor command.

Hello Chimera users,

I am using the "Define Attribute" and "Render by Attribute" features to
color structures by number of native contacts observed during a molecular
dynamics simulation. I would like to compare several simulations at once,
applying a single color scale to several (~6) models at once. It seems
that this can't be done using a separate attribute file for each model:
The "render by attribute" dialog doesn't let you change the limits past
the min and max of the data in the attribute file, but each simulation
(and hence each attribute file) has a different range.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Eric
