The default offset when using thermal ellipsoids is very nice. I haven't figured out how to drag individual labels but that may be me or that I'm using a trackball, but the labeloffset command works well.</div><div><br></div><div>I'm getting very positive feedback from my users! </div><div><br></div><div>Thanks.</div><div><br></div><div>New question,</div><div><br></div><div>Is it possible to calculate electron density maps from a standard PDB format fcf file with the structure factors in it? SHELX is the small molecule standard and it will output reflection files. I know COOT will calculate the maps on the fly from this format but figures from COOT are NO MATCH for Chimera. It would be nice to be able to read the .fcf file and get maps back. If I try to use COOT calculated maps I have no control over the position of the map and it can be the same for trying to use CCP4 maps. Maps calculated in Chimera centered on the molecule would be useful beyond description.</div><div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "><b><br></b></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "><b>From the SHELX manual</b></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "><b>m = 6</b>:Write a free-format CIF file containing h,k,l, F<span style="font: 7.0px Helvetica">o</span>, <span style="font: 12.0px Symbol">σ</span>(F<span style="font: 7.0px Helvetica">o</span>), F<span style="font: 7.0px Helvetica">c</span> and <span style="font: 12.0px Symbol">φ</span> (phase angle in </div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; ">degrees) for the reflection list as defined for m = 1.

It will default to the Control-button-3 mouse mode, but can be reassigned using the mouse mode preferences. You will also be able to change the label offsets using the command line, the "labeloffset x y z atom-spec" and "rlabeloffset x y z atom-spec" commands to set the offsets and "~labeloffset" and "~rlabeloffset" to reset them to the default behavior of adjusting the offset with the representation.<br><br>For users with existing saved preferences, you might need to turn label dragging on by resetting the mouse mode preferences or by explicitly assigning it to Control-button-3.
