Hi Elaine, Can you please tell me how to remove the fussy density from the plane of a particle? I went to Volume Viewer>Features>Planes>One to make a plane of the particle. I can see a fussy density around the particle at the entire boundary. How can I deactivate it ?? Thanks in advance. Best, Mohit

Hi Mohit, Please send chimera questions to chimera-users@cgl.ucsf.edu rather than to me directly -- it allows other people to answer if I cannot, and allows other users to benefit from the information. In this case, I may not understand the question. You could (a) adjust the thresholds for density display using the Volume Viewer dialog <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/volumeviewer/framev...> <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/volumeviewer/volume...> (b) filter your map using Volume Filter (in menu under Tools... Volume Data) <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/volumeviewer/gaussi...> (c) erase parts of a map using Volume Eraser (d) segment using Segment Map etc... see "volume tour" <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/data/tutorials/volumetour/volumetour.html> Best, Elaine
