Subject: chimera vrml issues...

Hi Tom,

I was trying out some of those new scene export functions in Chimera
that you showed me a while back, and I've been running into some
issues.  I've got a large ribbon structure that I wanted to export as
VRML, but Chimera only wrote a small file that couldn't be opened. 
Using notepad, all the file included was the following:

#VRML V2.0 utf8

Transform {
  children [
  ]
}


Saving as a X3d file seemed to work (seemed like a reasonable size at
10 MB) but I couldn't use the translator (X3dToVrml97.xslt) to change
to VRML since it appeared to run into memory issues.

Trying to save as POV or Renderman either failed or crashed Chimera.

Any suggestions?

Janet
