<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I don't understand what you are trying
to do. My best guess is you have a symmetric trimer crystal
structure and you want to fit a monomer of that atomic model into
a 5-fold symmetric map. To do that I would open the trimer atomic
model, delete all except one monomer, fit it into one of the 5
equivalent positions in the map, then use the "sym" command to
make the other 4 symmetrically placed copies. If I wanted to
reduce clashes I'd assign c5 symmetry to the map as described
before and use the "fitmap" command with the symmetric fitting
option.<br>
<br>
The "volume #0 symmetry c5" command doesn't give any error message
like "can't find symmetry". So I'm not sure what problem you are
having. You need to explain it more clearly.<br>

<div>Tanks for your kindly answer!But i use the command
volume #0 symmetry c5,it tell me that cann't find the
semmetry. The map is made from crystal structure using "fit
in map".it a trimer,i want to impose 5-symmetry in order to
fit with my map.<br>

The symmetry assigned to the map isn't used for much in
Chimera. It can be used for symmetric fitting but if you
tell it the wrong symmetry you will just get nonsense
fits. The other main use of symmetry is to replicate PDB
models with the sym command. There you can specify the
symmetry with command options. So I can't think of any
reason you would use the above command.<br>

<div> I have some question in using your excellent

<div> How can i set 5 symmetry to a 3 symmetry map?</div>
