Hi Tom

I have already downloaded and try it. Exactly what I needed. Really grateful for it!

Hi Marta,

  I can see how using the map eraser button Erase Outside Sphere could be a handy way to crop out subregion making a smaller map.  So I added a "Reduce map bounds" button to map eraser that crops to the minimal box containing the sphere -- it does not do any erasing, just copies the map making it smaller in size.  This will be in tonight's ChimeraX builds.

Hi all

  • I know that when performing volume zone, we can set minimal Boundaries true, so we get a smaller map compared to the original.
  • Volume eraser gives zeroes, but as far as I understand, the size of the map is kept.

My maps are huge and my laptop is as it is. I am wondering if there is any option of, instead of getting zeroes when erasing, getting rid of this values and get a new, and smaller map, to work with lighter maps. I use  the volume zone, and reduce boundaries,  but sometimes is more convenient the erase tool...

Regards and thanks!

Marta
