Hi all, I opened an IMOD model in Chimera. After I opened a saved session with Chimera, the IMOD model disappeared. Is this because of my version (alpha 1.4 (build 26844))?

Hi Huy, Sorry, but in all versions of Chimera (so far), IMOD surfaces are not saved in sessions. <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/volumeviewer/imod.h...

Hi Huy, As Elaine mentioned, IMOD models aren't recorded in Chimera session files. The IMOD files can be very large so I'm not sure we want the data embedded in Chimera session files. An alternative is to remember the path to the IMOD file in the session file. If you recolor or delete parts of the IMOD model that method won't work. Another request to save IMOD models in sessions is already on the Chimera request list, item 101. http://socrates2.cgl.ucsf.edu/trac/chimera/wiki/requests I've added your name to that request.
