Hi Nicolas,

To show an oblique slice of a map you can use the volume dialog "subregion selection" panel. The "planes" panel can only display slices perpendicular to the volume axes as you found. There's a video showing how to show the oblique slice on the Chimera video tutorial web page

The Chimera volume guide has a text description of the procedure.

Hi,

I'm using the "Feature >> Plane" options of the "Volume viewer tool" to show contour lines in planes of density maps. For the plane, there are 3 options: "X-axis", "Y-axis", and "Z-axis". The plane I'm interested in is none of those. I try to rotate the maps, but the X, Y and Z axis are also rotating... Do you know if there's a way to rotate the "axis" and the "map" independently, please?

Thanks in advance,
Nicolas
