Hi Luiza, This page lists the file types Chimera can read: <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/filetypes.html> Searching for "IMOD" in the above, I see IMOD map format (.rec) and IMOD segmentation meshes (.imod, .mod) and link to more detailed information about the latter in another page: <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/volumeviewer/imod.html> That second link says only mesh data are read from the IMOD segmentation, not the contour data. However, it also explains how to make a small change to the code to also read the contours. I hope this helps Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Good morning,
Is it possible to open IMOD .mod file in chimera? I am trying to do so, and I select the IMOD .mod file in the pop-up window asking about the file type, but nothing is showing up (blue initial chimera window unchanged), even though the log states 'finished opening file'. My .mod file is just XYZ scattered points. Do I need to do any conversion before being able to open it? I appreciate any help.
