[Chimera-users] Volume save after volume changes

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Ryan,
These are all isosurface display changes.  The map consists of density values at points on a 3D grid.  A map can be shown with multiple isosurfaces, or no isosurfaces at all.  None of the map values are changing.

It’s analogous to opening an atomic structure from the PDB and then changing its coloring…. just a display setting, not an alteration of the underlying data, and these display settings aren’t part of the formats in which the data are saved.
