Hi Arne, The keyboard shortcut “sm” for splitting a map based on the color zone coloring operates on the active volume — that is the one highlighted in Volume Viewer (it’s title above the histogram has a blue background). If you are just opening maps then I think the most recent one is the active volume. Ideally there would be a command and not just a shortcut to do this splitting operation. I’ll add this to our new program ChimeraX. You could use Python to do the splitting of say all maps by putting the following code in splitmap.py and using “open /path/to/script/splitmap.py” from VolumeViewer import volume_list from ColorZone import split_volume_by_color_zone for v in volume_list(): split_volume_by_color_zone(v) Tom

Dear Chimera Team,
I am trying to call the split map command directly from a script but somehow I don’t seem to be able to get it to run - maybe you can help me?
I am calling scolorzone (which works perfectly) and then ( as suggested in the mailing list) use the accelerator command ac sm to split the map. However, generally nothing happens - sometimes though (I don’t know what triggers it - and I am not doing anything different) it runs perfectly fine. I am a bit puzzled as the same is the case no matter if I run form command line or I use the keyboard shortcuts gui.
Many thanks for your help!
cheers Arne
