Hi Alex, There are two scripts (placem.py and place.py) on the Chimera Python scripts web page http://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/trac/chimera/wiki/Scripts that will place models at specified positions. With the placem.py script you specify the models/maps to open and the x,y,z translations and optionally the rotation as a quaternion, one model on each line. You can repeat the same model. The place.py script places multiple copies of a single model specifying translation and rotation using a 3 by 4 matrix. Tom
Hi Tom,
When I told about particles I meant electron-density maps (mrc, spider, imagic or ccp4 formats). I know all orientation of the particles and even more all of them a turned already -- what I need is only to place all of them in exact positions. Of cause I can do it manually, but it is bit boring.
Thank you for the help in advance,
Alex
Dear colleagues,
I would like to fit about 300 particles inside of the map according to it coordinates (X,Y,Z) what I have found before. Is it possible to make this procedure automatically, such that program would load one particle, shift it according to its coordinates (change pixel size if necessary) and so on?
Thank you in advance,
Alexander
