[Chimera-users] Chimera - Saving multiple files

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Elza,

As I tried to describe before, you would NOT enter docking1.1.pdb.  You would enter:  docking$number.pdb

and choose (highlight with mouse) only those two models in the Models part of the dialog. That would give you two output files with names automatically including the numbers.

Then that part will be replaced by the model name or model number of the individual docking, to create multiple different output filenames.  You can’t just enter a name without one of those because multiple names are required for multiple output files, not a single name.
