Hi Giovanni,

This is a bug in the "measure contactArea" command. It should account for the relative displacement between the maps but I see in the code it is ignoring that. I'll fix it today and it will work in tonight's Chimera daily build (compiled around 2 AM). Thanks for pointing out the problem. I guess I always used it on maps that had not been moved relative to one another.

Hi,

I can use the tool measure contactArea on the surface models of two different maps, but I can not make it work when using it on two copies of the same map: no matter how much I move one map with respect to the other, the first surface listed in the command line will always be entirely colored in red (using offset 0). It looks like the command ignores the transformation. Is this the expected behavior? I can work around it by resampling the maps after the transformation (vop resample # onGrid #), but I liked more the idea of doing the measure without this additional step. Tested it with the latest alpha version 1.7 (build 36320).

Thank you, Giovanni
