Hi Ahmad, I believe you have to do it in one step. Color all the atomic models, select all the atomic models at the same time, then do the coloring with Color Zone. Elaine

Thanks. When I try to color a different part of the map, it removes the first color. How can I save the colors to the map? P.s. I use atomic models for the coloring.

There is a little more description here <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/data/tutorials/volumetour/volumetour.html#colorzone>
...and in the Color Zone manual page: <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/colorzone/colorzone.html>
As mentioned in that page, you can also do it with the “scolor” command “zone” option. <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/scolor.html#zone>
I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C. Meng, Ph.D. UCSF Chimera(X) team Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry University of California, San Francisco

I know I can use volume tracer to place markers in the density. There was a tutorial explaining the use of these markers to color certain areas of my density map, however I lost track of it.
Best regards.
