Hi Tom, this is surely possible but very slow to move them all together. Furthermore, I am wondering how I might be able to finally fit the entire ensemble into the map! bw Dieter ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dieter Blaas, Max Perutz Laboratories Medical University of Vienna, Inst.

Hi Dieter,
What is difficult with 100 coordinate files? Don't you just inactivate the map and the 100 models as a group and then use the vop zone command?

Dear Elaine and all,
I have a large number of aligned pdb files and want to mask a volume including density near all these atoms. Is there an easy way of doing so?
Usually I would load map and pdb, position the pdb model accordingly, activate all atoms and use 'zone' to mask everything further away from all atoms than a given distance. But this seams to be difficult with more than 100 coordinate files, each containing about 1000 coorinates!
I also tried to combine all coordinates in a single file omitting everything else but chimera tries desperately to find secondary structure elements, which is difficult with this mess....
Is there an easy way of doing so?
Thanks, best, Dieter
