[Chimera-users] Surface rendering

[Tom Goddard]

Hi George,

   You might want to use the "molmap" command to create a Gaussian 
surface instead of a solvent excluded surface.  For example if 
_clusters.pdb is model #2 and you want a 5 Angstrom resolution surface use:

     molmap #2 5

This never fails.  It sums a Gaussian centered at each atom and computes 
a contour surface.

The _clusters.pdb file produced by SiteComp is a standard PDB file in which the grid points corresponding to the difference clusters are represented by hydrogen atoms. They can be treated as any molecule in Chimera.

After this, I select the _clusters.pdb and show it as mesh or solid using Actions-> Surface. In some cases, I fail to render the surface, or to be precise only one part of the clusters is rendered.
