[Chimera-users] Using Chimera to measure voxel densities

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Alex,

  You could get the interpolated density each atom position with the Values at Atom Positions dialog (menu Tools / Volume Data).  Usually this is used to color the atoms based on density value, but the values can be written out with the Render by Attribute dialog menu File / Save Attributes.

  It is not easy to see the positions of nearby grid points and those grid points can’t be selected. But if you really want to get at those values you might just display your map as a mesh and adjust the contour level by hand until you see the surface intersects a grid point (the contour lines in mesh mode lie in the grid planes so you may be able to visually see when the surface hits a grid point).

	Tom
