Missing tools in ChimeraX
by Lars Backman 05 Dec '23

05 Dec '23

Hi, In Chimera, a tool named “Viewing” was available. It was an excellent tool to adjust appearance of the final png or jpg figure. I have looked for a similar tool in ChimeraX, but it seems to be absent. Or is there a way to create something similar?

Exporting scene with .obj and .mtl file
by Berndsen, Zachary 04 Dec '23

Hello, I need to export an obj file along with the associated mtl file, however, under the “file > save” option, there is only an option for saving as .obj, not .mtl. I read in the online documentation that there should be the capability to “export a scene” which saves an obj and mtl file, however I do not see this option when using v 1.6.1. Is this still supported? Thanks, Zack

Python Function that implements the "center" method from the GUI
by tong.you＠icm.uu.se 01 Dec '23

Hello, For an automatic pipeline workflow, I want to have a way to center several mrc files using the Python module. However, I can't seem to find the corresponding Python function that I can use in a script to "center" an opened map. Is there a Python function to "center" a map similarily as in the GUI? Kind regards, Tong
