<div> Dear Chimera-user list,<br>
<br>
I believe, currently, Chimera can not <font><font color="black" size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">visualize</font></font> docking spheres (http://dock.compbio.ucsf.edu/DOCK_6/dock6_manual.htm#OrientingtheLigand) files directly, in order to do so, we need to create a pdb file of the spheres and then visualize them. <br>
<br>
It would be vary helpful for DOCK users if we could visualizes spheres directly from the .sph files produced by sphgen (http://dock.compbio.ucsf.edu/DOCK_6/dock6_manual.htm#Sphgen) or sphgen_cpp. <font><font color="black" size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Radius and color information could then also be displayed. <br>
<br>
This might be a helpful new feature to be included in a future release of Chimera. <br>
