This does not help with your problem of marking particles for subtomogram averaging. As I added IMOD model reading I looked at whether ChimeraX could write such a file. The file has Fortran binary records and while I could write a file that ChimeraX would read, I am not sure whether IMOD or any other software would read it because the file has lots of information and I don't know what is required and what is optional.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Tom</div><div class=""><br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Jun 17, 2020, at 7:35 AM, Atherton, Joseph <<a href="mailto:joseph.atherton@kcl.ac.uk" class="">joseph.atherton@kcl.ac.uk</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div 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-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="">Thanks Tom</div><div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; 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;" class=""><div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class=""><br class=""></div><div id="Signature" class=""><div class=""><div class=""></div><div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class=""><pre cols="72" style="text-align: start;" class=""><span style="margin: 0px; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(23, 78, 134);" class=""><b class="">Dr Joe Atherton</b></span><span style="margin: 0px; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(23, 78, 134);" class="">
