      <br>
      added another step for fine tunning and reduced number of steps,
      now it works much faster. Maybe there is a better way of doing the
      threshold steps. I overshoot up, down then up again, but it works

        <br>
        thanks a lot for the help and for pointing me in the right
        direction. Finally I had some time and I've come up with a
        script that adjusts the volume level threshold from the active
        model to all opened models. For one model it's not a problem,
        but when one wants to adjust the levels for a series of volumes
        (for example after a 3d classification run in relion), it
        becomes cumbersome to do so for the ~50 models/run. Maybe other
        EM users find it handy, that's why I'd like to share it.<br>
        It took me quite some time to find the right functions, which do
        the actual measurement. Got lost in the OpenModels.h, volume.py,
        volumedialog.py, and the gui scripts. The rest was easy :-)
        Thanks again for your help!<br>

        To supplement Shawn and Tom's answers, obviously it would be

        <div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>b)

          grep share/*/ChimeraExtension.py for the command name to find

                    I am trying to write a simple python script that
                    will iterate over opened volumes and adjust the
                    contour level to a certain mass. This shouldn't be
                    more than ~10 lines. However, I can't find chimera's
                    python library reference to look up the class
                    structure and operator names.<br>
                    <br>
                    Does someone know how, for example, set volume level
                    to 0.01 would look like in python?<br>
                    in the command line it would be for all models:
                    volume #0-99 level 0.01<br>
                    <br>
                    for models I've found chimera.openModels and then
                    you can list over them, but that's about it.<br>
