Hi Evan, A multi-scale model won't update during a trajectory. I suggest making each chain surface with the molmap command (e.g. molmap #0:.A 5 grid 1 model #10 ; volume #10 color pink). Put the 12 commands in a file and run it on each frame of the trajectory as it is played using the MD Movie dialog menu Per-Frame / Define Script... or use the perframe command.

Hi
I have a series of pdb files corresponding to a quaternary conformational change involving 12 chains. I can read these pdb files into Chimera via the MD movie, and I can view the conformational change. What I would like to do is to convert the movie into one using multiscale models with one surface for each chain. If I go into multiscale I can convert the initial pdb to multiscale, but it does not carry over to the other pdb files corresponding to the conformational change. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
