It is pretty easy to run a script every frame of a trajectory. Use MD Movie's Per-Frame→Define script... menu item to bring up a dialog to run commands every frame. In the dialog make sure you change the "Interpret script as" value to "Chimera commands". The command to expand the BIOMT records is:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>sym</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">This will create full atomic coordinate copies. You could use the "surfaces true" argument to only make surface copies instead. I'm a little hazy on exactly what you are saying about how you want to do the coloring, but whatever it is you just need to determine what the equivalent commands are and add them to the script. Each symmetry copy has its own model number (look at the Model Panel), so to color them you should be able to do something like "color red #1.1".</div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Clicking OK in the dialog will accept the commands you've entered and you should be able to just play through your trajectory normally. The playback will likely be slow due to the overhead of running 'sym' every frame.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div class="">--Eric</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Eric Pettersen</div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>UCSF Computer Graphics Lab</div></div><div class=""> <br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Dec 21, 2020, at 7:15 AM, Stéphane DUQUERROY <<a href="mailto:stephane.duquerroy@pasteur.fr" class="">stephane.duquerroy@pasteur.fr</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div id="divtagdefaultwrapper" dir="ltr" style="font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class=""><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class=""></p><div class=""><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class="">Hi,<br class=""></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class="">I generated a set of coordinates in a single PDB file for a movie (coord flanked by MODEL / ENDMDL tags)</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class="">I can read it and play it with MD movie menu</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class="">The PDB File has also BIOMT matrices set for displaying the biological assembly<br class=""></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class="">My question is how can I play the movie with multiscale model?
