Hi Oliver, Thanks for pointing out this problem. Axes/planes/centroids weren't saving their display on/off state in scenes or sessions. I have fixed the code and the fix will be in tonight's daily build. Look for a build dated Jan. 14th or later. Using such a build you will be able to restore your session but will have to re-save the scenes where you have one or more axes/planes/centroids undisplayed in order to have the correct display state preserved in the scene. Then things should work as you expect. --Eric On Jan 13, 2015, at 8:02 PM, Oliver Clarke <olibclarke@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi all,

Planes seem to be shown by default when I load a scene, regardless of whether they were displayed when I saved the scene.

This is not normally an issue, but it is a little problematic when preparing animations using many different scenes - I will often have a plane defined at the start so I can use it to align the x/y/z axes to the normal of that plane (e.g. aligning the fourfold axis of an ion channel), but I do not want the plane displayed during the animation, and I don’t want to have to delete it from each scene and re-arrange the animation timeline if I can avoid doing so.

Would it be possible to alter this behavior such that chimera knows the displayed/undisplayed states of axes/planes/centroids when saving a scene or session?

Best, Oliver Clarke. _______________________________________________ Chimera-users mailing list Chimera-users@cgl.ucsf.edu http://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/mailman/listinfo/chimera-users
