[Chimera-users] show surface fails

[Hartzell Jr., Criss]

I am struggling to show an electrostatic surface on the solvent accessible surface for several related proteins. It works fine in Pymol with APBS but with Chimera I continue to get "surface calculation failed, mscalc returned code 5". I have read posts going back at least 5 years about this problem and I have tried all of the various work-arounds (vdwdef, split, probe radius and vertex density). Has this problem been solved? I am using version 1.8.1 on a PC. Is there a way to identify which part of the protein is causing the problem?
