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
