Thank you very much Elaine!! it worked nicely. I attached the image I rendered. Thanks again, stay safe, Giorgio [image: NMA-worms-displacement.png] On Sun, 14 Mar 2021 at 18:15, Elaine Meng <meng@cgl.ucsf.edu> wrote:
Hi Giorgio, I don't know exactly what's in your file, but if it opens as multiple models (e.g. #0.1, #0.2, #0.3 similar to when you open an NMR structure such as 1g1p, or as #0, #1, #2 ...):
(1) first check: are the structures shown as a ribbon? (like spaghetti, all same radius) If Chimera can show it as the spaghetti-like ribbon, it can show it as a worm. If not (only dots) it cannot show it as a worm.
(2) show the sequence of any one, doesn't matter which one since they all have the same sequence (menu: Favorites... Sequence, choose which model)
(3) in the sequence window menu, (a) choose Structure... Associations, and in the resulting dialog make all of the structures associate with that same single sequence (b) choose Headers... RMSD:ca to show the histogram of RMSD values
(4) choose which model you want to represent as worm, hide all of the others (e.g. with Model Panel "S" checkboxes)
(4) in Render by Attribute, choose attributes of residues, then choose attribute: mavRMSDca, use Worms tab, etc.

Hy,
I have a pdb file containing the models (only CA atoms) describing the lowest mode from a NMA. I can easily generate a movie using the morphing tool, but I would like to visualize the mode as an image, using the render by attribute tool and with the displacement of each CA as value of the worm radius. How can I generate this attribute?
Thanks in advance for you rhelp! Giorgio
