Hi Alexis, That sounds the same as the workflow I tested. However, I was using the latest daily build on Mac (dataset eds:1a0m although that may not matter):
UCSF ChimeraX version: 0.91 (2019-06-25)
I wasn’t aware of any changes in the 5 days between our versions, though. Elaine

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

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
