'Send to Quest' button not available

Dear User Guides, I am trying to send a file from ChimeraX to LookSee, in order to visualise it on my Meta Quest Pro headset. The tool 'Send to Quest' is not available in ChimeraX on my desktop, it is supposed to be in Tools/General. Thanks in advance! Mary

Hi Mary, Probably you are using too old a version of ChimeraX. According to this page, you have to use a version from March 22, 2023 or newer: <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/data/looksee-mar2023/looksee.html> I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Hi Elaine, Thanks for your help, good point. I am using version 1.6.1 (2023-05-09). Anyway, I could try and download the newer release candidate. -----Original Message----- From: Elaine Meng <meng@cgl.ucsf.edu> Sent: Wednesday, December 13, 2023 9:14 AM To: Wiesler, Marie-Christin (Manufacturing, Clayton) <Marie-Christin.Wiesler@csiro.au> Cc: chimerax-users@cgl.ucsf.edu Subject: Re: [chimerax-users] 'Send to Quest' button not available Hi Mary, Probably you are using too old a version of ChimeraX.

Yes, I think that's certainly the next thing to try ... because even though 1.6.1 is dated in May, the 1.6 branch diverged from the development version back in March, about the same time as when this feature was added to the development version. Elaine
