Hi Elaine, I am toggling using the eye icon in the volume viewer. This is with v 0.91 (2019-06-20). Steps: - start chimera - open .mrc volume - adjust volume step size to 1, isosurface level, rotation - ui mousemode rightMode "pick blobs" - measure blob by right-clicking on a blob; blob is now colored (dark blue) and boxed (light green) - toggle eye icon. Volume is hidden - toggle eye icon. Volume surface is shown, blob is boxed but not colored anymore (it has the same grey color as the rest of the volume. I can try and reproduce with the latest daily later today maybe. Cheers, Alexis On 6/25/19 10:23 AM, Elaine Meng wrote:
Hi Alexis, I’m not sure how you are hiding and showing the volume object. All the methods I tried for hiding/showing already do preserve the blob color from measure blobs:
- toggle using eye icon in Volume Viewer - toggle using checkbox under eye icon in Model Panel - command “hide” (hide #1; show #1) - command “volume” with “hide” option (vol #1 hide; vol #1 show)

Hi there,
I absolutely love the new measure blob UI in the daily builds. Very useful. Thank you so much for putting it together.
Is there a way to get the blob surface color to persist beyond hiding/showing the volume object? Obviously, in a script I could just re-measure the blob and re-color it, but is there another way to make the color "stick"? (Note, I don't plan to change the isocontour level)
Cheers, Alexis
