Hi Edoardo, The “region” option of the “volume” command is the same as setting region min and max in the Region bounds section of the GUI. <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/volume.html#dimensions>
For example, if I have a map #3, then command:
vol #3 region 10,10,10,20,20,20
is the same as GUI:
Region min max step x[10 20 1 ] y [10 20 1 ] z [10 20 1 ]
That adjusts the display. If you want to save this region to a file, you could instead use the “save” option, for example, a command something like:
vol #3 save /Users/meng/Desktop/test.mrc saveRegion 10,10,10,20,20,20

Dear Chimera users, is there an equivalent of Volume viewer/Features/Region bounds from the GUI to precisely crop several maps via command line? I tried a combination of volume region and vop zone subregion but it doesn’t really do what I would like to obtain. Many thanks in advance, Edoardo
