[Chimera-users] help with how to save a volumes

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Sara,
The map formats don't include rotation information, so you would need to resample the rotated map on the grid of the other map.  This interpolates and makes a new map model. 

Please see here for details on how to save a map after fitting:
<http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/savemodel.html#afterfitting>

However, Chimera does not write the spider format.  You would need to save in MRC, NetCDF, Chimera map, or BRIX format.
I hope this helps,
Elaine
