Hi Brandon, It looks like Chimera preserves the hide dust settings when playing a volume series, but ChimeraX does not. That is because hide dust was recently added to ChimeraX. I’ll make a feature request to preserve hide dust settings when playing a volume series. But for now Elaine’s suggestion to use perframe is the way to do it. Tom

Hi Brandon, I haven’t tried this myself with volume series playback, but in principle you should be able to use “perframe” along with “surface dust” to automatically run dust-hiding at each display frame during playback.

E.g. could be something like:
perframe “surface dust [your surface dust arguments]”; vseries play [your vseries arguments]; wait <N>; ~perframe
…where <N> would be the number of frames it takes to play your volume series. I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C. Meng, Ph.D. UCSF Chimera(X) team Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry University of California, San Francisco

I am attempting to remove small connected components from my timeseries volumes. The surface dust command works well for this, but it only works on one time point at a time, is there a way to script this, or use in conjunction with the vseries play command to apply this to each timepoint?
Thanks, -Brandon
