[Chimera-users] delete volume densities

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Hernando,

   In tonight's Chimera daily builds there will be a new "vop zone" 
command, for example,

     vop zone #0 #1:.B 5

will mask map #0 within 5 Angstroms of chain B of molecular model #1, 
creating a new masked volume.  Also I added a Mask button to the volume 
dialog Zone panel to make the masked volume.  The Zone button in that 
dialog only hides part of the surface far from the selected atoms.

   These two improvements should make it a bit easier to mask volumes 
within a radius of some set of atoms.

     Tom

Can somebody please remind me where to find it. Is this utility still there in the new chimera versions?
