<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Hi Elaine,</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Ok thank you. DAE do indeed seem to render the colours properly as I can see them in Mac Preview, though seemingly not in other tools as you say.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">I don't suppose there is any way for chimera to write the colours out as an MTL file since this seems to be the approach other tools take.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">I'm not very familiar with these file formats, but it seems to have something to do with colours being applied on vertices but not faces.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Any more info you have would be appreciated.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Thanks, </p>

<div class="PlainText">Hi Joe,<br>
As per the “export” docs...<br>
<<a href="http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/export.html">http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/export.html</a>><br>
<br>
COLLADA export includes colors but many readers do not interpret them correctly.<br>
OBJ export is only single color per surface piece.<br>
STL export does not include colors.<br>
X3D, WebGL, ... are more complete and may include what you want.<br>
<br>
I hope this helps,<br>
Elaine<br>
