If you really need to use ChimeraX for it (image generation?), there are a couple of less-easy routes available. For one, you could use Render By Attribute’s File→Save Attribute… menu entry to generate a file giving the conservation value for each residue. You could then use a text editor to massage that into a series of ChimeraX “setattr” commands that you could run to get the attribute into ChimeraX. Then you could use the “color byattribute” command to do the coloring.</div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>The other route is that there is a Chimera→ChimeraX scene exporter that I have been working on but isn’t finished. But it is pretty close to finished for molecular data only (no volumes, molecular surfaces, 2D labels, etc.). I could put the exporter into the daily build despite it not being really completely ready for anything, since in this case it might be good enough. I’ve attached an image of a structure with a chain colored by conservation in Chimera, and the same system as exported into ChimeraX.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">—Eric<br class=""><div class="">
