Hi Elaine,
Considering your reply further:
Will ChimeraX include a agnostic plain XYZ import option?
We work with non-atomistic chromatin confirmations and so are interested in this option.
What would be your recommendation for a format for non-atomistic particle (xyz) coordinates?
Also, I have been looking into IMP’s RMF format and comparing it to UMM (http://www.scalalife.eu/content/umm.html).
Will RMF still receive official Chimera backing in ChimeraX?
Many thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,
Not currently.  You can use command “open formats” to list the current ChimeraX formats in the Log.

The data formats are listed with a little more detail in the documentation for “open” (input) and “save” (output) commands. Input formats:
<http://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/open.html#local>

You may be able to use Chimera (not ChimeraX) to read XYZ and output PDB, if you don’t have any other converter handy.
I hope this helps,
Elaine

Hi!
Many thanks for the great work on this new version.
Does ChimeraX support XYZ files?
Chimera did but I get an “unrecognized filetype” error in ChimeraX.
Best regards,
Mike Goodstadt
