Yes, in the "shape" help page, under General Options where it describes "center", clicking on the point-spec link shows "cofr" as one of the possible values. --Eric

That is what I was looking for! Is that in the docs and I missed it? (probably...)

Hi Tom,
I usually have the center of rotation visible, using "showpivot true", so it is clear where the center of rotation is. It would be useful I think to have the option to move things to the center of rotation, like in Chimera (because the place I want the mask is not always in the center of the map), but this approach works too!

Hi Oli,
There is no command in ChimeraX that moves models to the center of rotation like the Chimera "move cofr" command. If the idea is to use the shape command and then place the shape at the center of an existing map (e.g. model #1) then I would suggest using the "center" option of the shape command
shape cylinder radius 50 height 100 center #1
It is not obvious where the center of rotation point is in ChimeraX, for instance it may be on the surface of a displayed map in the center of the view that is not near the center of the map. So I don't think a "move cofr" would do this job very well.

Relatedly - is there any ChimeraX command line equivalent to "move cofr" in Chimera - to move a designated model to the current center of rotation?

Perfect thanks Tom - I did not know about the "volume onesmask" command (I looked in the docs but clearly not in the right place!), but that is exactly what I was looking for!

You might also use the "volume gaussian" command instead of the "volume falloff" command to soften the edges. The volume falloff command will not modifiy the ones region, only the zeros outside the boundary, while the volume gaussian command will modify inside and outside the mask. > > Tom > > >> On Jan 17, 2024, at 8:22 AM, Oliver Clarke via ChimeraX-users <chimerax-users@cgl.ucsf.edu> wrote: >> >> Hi, >> >> Would it be possible in a future release to add an option to the "shape" command to output the shape as a map (filled with 1s inside the shape, zeroes outside, maybe with an optional soft edge and an ongrid option)? >> >> This would be very convenient for making simple geometrical masks for cryoEM (e.g soft cylindrical masks for classification within a nanodisc). >> >> I currently do this using "shape cylinder", use the cylinder to mask the map, and then gaussian filter the resulting masked map to the point where I can choose a threshold that conforms to the shape, but having a way to do the same thing more directly would be very nice to have. >> >> Cheers >> Oli >> _______________________________________________ >> ChimeraX-users mailing list -- chimerax-users@cgl.ucsf.edu >> To unsubscribe send an email to chimerax-users-leave@cgl.ucsf.edu >> Archives: https://mail.cgl.ucsf.edu/mailman/archives/list/chimerax-users@cgl.ucsf.edu/ >> >
