Hi Zhen, I could not find any mention of multisampling in the ChimeraX documentation -- maybe the other developers can say whether this is still relevant on current machines with higher-resolution displays. There is a "graphics quality" command but it is for atomic and ribbon representations. <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/graphics.html#quality> Map triangulation can be adjusted with "volume" command options, see subdivideSurface, etc.: <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/volume.html#dispsurf> For molecular surface see the "gridSpacing" option of "surface" <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/surface.html> There is also something called "supersampling" but it only relates to the process of saving images, not the interactive appearance. <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/save.html#image> I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

This Message Is From an External Sender This message came from outside your organization. Hi all,
May I ask is there a super-sampling option in ChimeraX to turn on so that the edges of maps are smoother?
Somethiing equivalent to Tools - Viewing Controls - Effects, there is a Graphics quality, you can choose subdivision and whether to turn on multisample.
Thanks!
Best, Zhen
