Dear all, I saved two sessions with different data to make a movie using the same command lines. However, I am not able to obtain the same result when I use the command volume region. In one instance Chimerax renders the whole 3D volumes I selected with “volume #x-y region all". In a second session, with different data but virtually the same commands, the rendering halts at the step before (~disp #1). I am puzzled because in both instances the logs show the command “volume #x-y region all” as executed. And, in the “faulty session" if I manually input the same command that I passed through the script it eventually shows the complete regions of the volumes. Could you please help me to understand what am I doing wrong? I am using ChimeraX 1.4 on Linux. I am pasting here the piece of the scripts that work and do not respectively, Many thanks in advance, Edoardo Working fly p2 p1 100; wait; volume #2 show style surface level 0.8 color #5555ff; volume #3 show style surface level 0.8 color #aa557f; volume #4 show style surface level 0.8 color #f514fd; volume #5 show style surface level 0.8 color #11ffcc; volume #6 show style surface level 0.8 color #ff9429; volume #2-6 transparency 0.8; wait 20; volume all planes z,1344,60; wait 1284; ~disp #1; volume #2-6 region all; Faulty fly p1 p2 100; wait; volume #2 show style surface level 0.8 color #5555ff; volume #3 show style surface level 0.8 color #aa557f; volume #4 show style surface level 0.8 color #f514fd; volume #5 show style surface level 0.8 color #11ffcc; volume #2-5 transparency 0.5; wait 20; volume all planes z,1604,1594; wait 10; ~disp #1; volume #2-5 region all; ------------------------------------------------------ Dr. Edoardo D'Imprima Postdoctoral fellow Structural and Computational Biology Unit EMBL Heidelberg - Mahamid Group Meyerhofstraße 1 69117 Heidelberg Germany Phone: +49 6221 387-8531
