Hi Bala, If you are having a problem, it helps to say what version of Chimera you are using. There was a bug in 1.4 (daily builds) where the 2D labels were missing from the image, but that was fixed 3 weeks ago -- so I would suggest either using a more recent daily build, or using the production release, 1.3. <http://socrates2.cgl.ucsf.edu/trac/chimera/ticket/7115> As for the raytracing progress, I once had a similar observation when the "pov-ray option" to show preview was true, and in that case it was actually finished, but the progress bar didn't move until after I closed the preview. I don't know if that is the same issue you are seeing. If that is not the problem, you could try using "Help... Report a Bug" in the Chimera menu to send a bug report. I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Friends,

I opened a molecule, made some 2d labels and saved the image in jpeg format. But the 2d labels are not apperaing in the final picture. What could be the reason for the same ?

When i try to set POV-RAY as True and save the image, the POV-RAY progress till 98% and stays for longtime but dosent save the image. Has anyone come across such problems before ?

Thanks, Bala
