Adding 3D arrows (vectors) in a scene
Dear list, Magnetic Anisotropy is a directional property and, because of that, it is useful to repreent it as a vector that crosses the molecule. Is that a way to add 3D "arrows" (vectors) using Chimera? -- *Henrique C. S. Junior* Químico Industrial - UFRRJ Mestrando em Química Inorgânica - UFRRJ Centro de Processamento de Dados - PMP
Dear Henrique, You can create a plain text file in BILD format describing the 3D objects and then open it in Chimera (with “open” command or menu: File… Open). The file format is described here: <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/bild.html> An example file including several 3D arrows is attached. I hope this helps, Elaine ---------- Elaine C.

Thank you for your reply, Elaine. It is amazing how beautiful the results are. 2016-04-05 12:59 GMT-03:00 Elaine Meng <meng@cgl.ucsf.edu>:
