Hi Yanhe, In Surface Color you would choose coloring by "height" which actually means by distance from a plane along its normal; the plane can be in any orientation. You would just need to enter origin and axis values to define the plane. The default values of these are set to color along map Z (axis 0 0 1). To color along X instead, change axis to 1 0 0 . I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C. Meng, Ph.D. UCSF Chimera(X) team Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry University of California, San Francisco

Hi Elaine,
Sorry for my delay as I was trying the ways you described above. Thanks a lot for that. I have another question as below: How can I have color gradient along the map dimensions? For example along X.
Thanks and best, Yanhe
