Hi Wangbiao, I’m guessing that an Amira mesh file may just describe a surface or surfaces, rather than a map (3D grid with values at every point). I see that Amira mesh is listed together with map formats (e.g. with the Chimera “listfiletypes” startup option) and in this table <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/filetypes.html#volume> …but it may be because they are generally used together. If my guess is correct, it may not be interchangeable with or equivalent to those data types. I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Dear Elaine: Thank you very much. The red model is the Amira segmentation file, I changed it to mrc file. I want to fit the model with density map. I don’t know why I cannot save the model as map.

Hi Wangbiao, I don’t know what that red thing is. Is it just a surface, or is it another map that happens to have an isosurface displayed? (What kind of file did it come from?) You can fit a map to another map, <https://nam05.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.rbvi.ucsf.edu%2Fchimera%2Fdocs%2FContributedSoftware%2Ffitmaps%2Ffitmaps.html&data=02%7C01%7Cwangbiao.guo%40yale.edu%7C6275cd9bc9384e8c922508d788e6212b%7Cdd8cbebb21394df8b4114e3e87abeb5c%7C0%7C0%7C637128394297998014&sdata=W0Nw0%2Bwu2pdGYvP2WF29ZGrlUlMDUZs5%2BYZSfKm3ZZE%3D&reserved=0> but there isn’t a tool to fit a map to a surface… it’s just an empty shell. Maybe you could somehow first make a new map based on that surface (e.g. 1 inside 0 outside) and then try to fit to that, but I don’t know if that really makes sense or would even work.

Is there any one knows how to fit the density map to this red model?
