Hi,
I have a bunch of shapes (spheres and cylinders) created through a .bld
script. I'd like to load this script once, and then be able to change the
colors of said shapes in successive operations. It is possible to set the
colors directly in the .bld script, but I need to make an animation out of
this. E.g: if my .bld script contains lines that draws shapes like so:
.sphere 0 0 -1 5.0
.cylinder 0 0 0 1 1 1 1.0
I want to be able to later have a bunch of scripts called 1.cxc, 2.cxc,
3.cxc, .... each of which change the color of the sphere and cylinder. This
way, I can load these scripts in the per-frame mode, to create an animation
out of the color changes.
Alternatively, I tried doing this with just the shape command and without a
.bld script, but I have over ~10000 shapes; the shape command interprets
each as a different model, and my computer hangs.

Hello,
I create molecular animations and use ChimeraX to import PDB files and
convert them to surfaces which I then export for use in Autodesk 3dsmax.
I have a very limited understanding of this fantastic software however I am
wondering if there is a quick way to solve my problem. I have a PDB file I
was sent containing a trimer. When I use a command such as:
*molmap #13,1 20 *(I found this on a YouTube video BTW)
It creates a surface model of the entire PDB file. How do I create separate
surface models for each of the trimers? So the PDB exports with three
meshes as opposed to a single mesh.
Hope that makes sense.
Best regards,
Eoin
