show middle slice of vol by using command line
Hi, I have been trying hard to do the following by using the command line but so far with no avail: select volume #0 and show just the middle slice as solid. Following the way the commands are usually structured I tried something like "vol #0 style solid planes one" but I do get the error "volume invalid planes argument "one" : Value must be x, y ,z, got 'one'''. But when I try ""vol #0 style solid planes x" I get "volume: invalid planes argument 'x'. So what?

Hi Dieter, There are two required arguments for the planes option: axis,start ... where start is the index of the desired plane along that axis Documentation: <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/volume.html#planes> So, for example: volume #0 style solid planes x,15 I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Hi Dieter, I made the volume command give a clearer error message. Tom On Aug 7, 2013, at 10:18 AM, Dieter Blaas wrote:
