Okay, I have a horrible hack to suggest here. In recent daily builds there is a "Color Key" tool (in Utilities) that lets you draw a single rectangular region of several colors and associated labels. You could use it to draw a rectangle with no labels and with the color set to the background color to achieve the same effect as cropping without the image ending prematurely. --Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu On Aug 20, 2008, at 12:12 PM, William Jeffrey Triffo wrote:

I know of the hinder and yon clipping planes,

and also the per-model clipping plane that allows individual model clipping.

I have a current imaging session where I have already used per-model clipping on several models, but would like to trim off some material from the side of the entire combined model - I don't suppose there is an arbitrary clipping plane that applies to the whole scene, like hinder-yon but from any user-defined direction?

For now, I was just going to crop the resulting image. But this will result in an abrupt end to the background color (I can adjust the image border clone the background in photoshop/etc, but would be nice to be able to do that within Chimera)

thanks,
