Hi specialists, I have a problem when adjusting the level of a map. If the level > 0, it seemed OK, but when it is less than 0, it showed a solid box. This is different from EMAN2. In EMAN2, the threshold less than 0 also works. I'm not sure whether the defining of level is the same as the threshold in EMAN2. Or is there any other way to show the density of a map as in EMAN2 with threshold less than 0? Some snapshots of the visualization in both programs are attached to the post. Thank you! regards, Jianhao

Hi Jianhao, You have to untick the “cap high values at box faces” to see surfaces bellow 0 threshold. You can find this option in Volume Viewer -> Features -> Surface and Mesh options at the bottom of the panel.

There’s also a “volume” command “capFaces” option, e.g. volume #3 capFaces false <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/volume.html#dispsurf> Elaine
