<div class="PlainText">Hi Jordan,<br>
Showing a molecular surface automatically creates surface-area attributes of residues and atoms (areaSES and areaSAS), as described here:<br>
<br>
<<a href="https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/representation.html#surfaces">https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/representation.html#surfaces</a>><br>
<br>
These values are NOT automatically saved to a file, however. To save an attribute to a file you need to use the Render by Attribute tool. Use main menu: Tools... Depiction... Render by Attribute, and then from the menu of that tool, File... Save Attributes.
See "Saving Attributes" section at the bottom of this page:<br>
<br>
<<a href="https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/render/render.html#saving">https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/render/render.html#saving</a>><br>
<br>
In the attribute-saving dialog, choose the level "residues" and attribute name "areaSAS" or "areaSES" depending on which you want. There is a diagram explaining the difference between SAS and SES in the surface help page, the first link in this message.<br>
<br>
I hope this helps,<br>

I have no clue where to find that file. Where does it get saved?<br>
