Hi Karim, You can use the command "volume zone" with "newMap false": <http://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/volume.html#zone> For example, if your map is #2 and your atomic model is #1 with chain of interest B, could be something like: volume zone #2 near #1/B range 5 newMap false (or "near sel" to use currently selected atoms instead of "near #1/B" to specify the chain directly). Then to go back to the full map display, command: volume unzone #2 <http://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/volume.html#unzone> I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Dear all, I was wondering how to show part of a map only surrounding certain residues, i.e. I have coordinates for a multiple-chain PDB but I only want to show the electron density surrounding one chain. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Best, Karim
