Hi James, Chimera has a Fit in Map tool (menu: Tools... Volume Data... Fit in Map) or you can use the "fitmap" command -- see the help for how to use them. <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/fitmaps/fitmaps.html> <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/fitmap.html> Since this is the Chimera mailing list I answered for Chimera. However, I should mention that we are not developing Chimera any more and recommend that you use ChimeraX instead. ChimeraX is a different program, but it has the same fitting, as well as many other features and advantages that Chimera does not have. Here are some links to ChimeraX help if you decide to try that instead: <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/advantages.html> <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/tools/fitmap.html> <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/fitmap.html> Also, there is a different mailing list for ChimeraX, so if you have questions about it use the address chimerax-users@cgl.ucsf.edu <mailto:chimerax-users@cgl.ucsf.edu> instead. I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Dear Greg,
I just converted my mtz file in phenix to ccp4 maps. Chimera can open the mFo-DFc.ccp4 and 2mFo-DFc.ccp4 but how to fit pdb into the map?. Somehow the map does not appear as continuous crystals as in coot. Can you please explain how to align the pdb structure wuth the map.
best James
