saving 2 maps for difference

I have 2 density maps, and use the "fit in map" function to best align the 2 of them. I'd like to use this fitting to create a difference map, but the original maps are not the same size. Does anyone know how to save both maps to the same grid in Chimera? For now I've been using the "subregion selection" tool in combination with "resampling voxel size", but if someone has a more direct method it'd be much appreciated. Thanks, -gabe

Hi Gabe, If you would like to just get one map calculated on the grid of a second map you can use the "vop" command with the "resample" operation. Something like: vop #1 resample onGrid #0 It makes a new map which you could save with the "volume" command or the volume dialog "File / Save map as..." menu entry. Here's the vop documentation: http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/vop.html That was added January 24, 2008 (Chimera 1.2485) for Bridget Carragher. I've been meaning to also add a subtract map operation to the "vop" command but that is not in yet. Tom
