Hi,

I’m trying to take an alpha fold model of my complex, generate a low resolution map of the model using molmap, and then use it for 2D template generation in CryoSparc. I am able to generate the low resolution map just fine, but the resulting map is in a rectangular volume (48x64x51) and I need it to be a cubic volume for CryoSparc to accept it. Ideally it would have dimensions of 64x64x64.

Is there a way to generate a low resolution map in a cell with specific dimensions while maintaining the protein complex dimensions? (eg. I don’t want to simply scale it into a cube)

I am using ChimeraX 1.5.

Best Josh
