[Chimera-users] internal coordinates (z-matrix) in chimera

[Chinh Su Tran To]

Hi,

Attached is my mol2 file. It is the DOCK result containing 10 conformations
of docked ligand. It does show 10 conformations using GUI Chimera (they're
sub-model, aint they?), but when I run the piece of code below (just for
testing), the result was an empty list (i.e. []).

*import chimera*
*confor = chimera.openModels.list()*
*print confor*

>>> []

""" if I used *print confor[0]*

>>> IndexError: list index out of range"""

Thank you.

Chinh
