Zone in pixel or Angstrom?

Hi, is the zone around selected atoms cut out with "Volume Viewer > Features > Zone" measured in Angstroms or pixels? Thank you, regards, Dieter ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dieter Blaas, Max Perutz Laboratories Medical University of Vienna, Inst. Med.

Angstroms. In general all the Chimera volume operations use Angstroms not pixels. In the documentation it will often say "physical units" meaning Angstroms or for the rare cases where pixels are used it will say grid index units. Chimera has no idea of the units of your map data, 3D light microscopy might be in microns. That is the reason the docs say "physical units". Tom
