Dear Chimera-users and team, I tried to generate a POV-Ray image making use of mesh style surface by
surfrepr mesh
When I go to 'save image' with activated POV-Ray option, I get the attached error message. I tried several versions ('stable' and daily build, linux and windows) and different molecules but it doesn't work out. Isn't it possible to get raytraced mesh-surface pictures in chimera or do I miss anything?
