Hi Bala, In both production release version 1.4.1 and a recent daily build (Sept 10), when I try to use the exp.txt file you sent, I did not get a traceback, but the error message: Data line 5 of file either not selector/value or not tab-delimited The original file in the documentation worked OK. I text-edited exp.txt to see the problem. In the line for residue 5, there are spaces in addition to the tabs. The data line should just be: (tab)atomspec(tab)value but on that line there was another space between the atomspec and the value, and also spaces after the value. After I removed those spaces, it worked fine, see attached file exp2.txt (it may be necessary to use Refresh....Menus in the Render tool if you had some failed attempts before that). I put the file on my mac Desktop, so for me the commands to open a sample structure and assign the attribute were open 121p defattr ~/Desktop/exp2.txt I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Friends,
I want to define solvent accessibility as the attribute to create a worm representation. I used the template file 'percentExposed.txt' in the following link to create an attribute file. The sample file i creased is attached (exp.txt)
http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/defineattrib/percen...
when i give the command: deffattr exp.txt I get the following error. How to resolve the problem.
