<br>
Our newer program ChimeraX can read points from imod files. You have to open it with the "contours true" option, for example,<br>
<br>
open ~/Desktop/particles.imod contours true<br>

I just tested it and it gave an error. I fixed the code so tonight's ChimeraX build will be able to read IMOD points and contour lines. The daily builds are below the releases on the download page<br>
