Hi James,

  If you make a volume morph from maps #2 and #3 to produce morph map #4

volume morph #2,3

and you show only part of the surface using surface zone and make it transparent

volume zone #4 near #1/A range 8
transparency #4 50

then to replay it use

vol morph #2,3 model #4

This will keep the zone but it replaces the color and transparency.  To not change color and transparency add another option

vol morph #2,3 model #4 interpolatecolors false

Also these replays make a new slider gui panel.  To avoid that add the "slider false" option

vol morph #2,3 model #4 interpolatecolors false slider false

Hi,

I need to record a movie of a modified volume morph focused on a small part of much larger structure. Is it possible to just play an existing morph with a command?

I can generate the morph, volume zone to a reference atomic model, and make it transparent to visualize the features I'm interested in, but how can I record the movie after accomplishing these steps? Incorporating the volume morph command in a movie-making script regenerates the original morph without zoning our transparency.

Thanks!
James
