<div class="moz-cite-prefix"> I think all you have to do is to save
respective views with clipping enabled and then make a movie that
would interpolate between these views. To be more specific:</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">1) Save the starting view:</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">view orient</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">view name initial_view<br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">2) adjust the clipping planes and
orientation of the map as you wish and save another view:</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">view name clip_view</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">3) go back to the initial view and
interpolate to the clipped view over 100 frames:</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">view initial_view</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">view clip_view 100; wait 100</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"> Of note, I used these commands ~1 year
ago to make a movie for our <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.cssb-hamburg.de/research/research_groups/loew_group/index_eng.html">lab's
webpage</a>, so the syntax might have changed in the meantime.</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"> Alternatively, you could set up the
clipping planes outside the map and then move it through the
clipping planes with <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/move.html">move</a>
command that uses several frames.<br>

I was wondering if anyone could help me with making a movie that is essentially slicing (clipping) through a given volume.
I am pretty comfortable with the movie making movie parameters and I have read through the sections
1) <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="help:user/movies.html">help:user/movies.html</a>
2) <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="help:user/commands/clip.html">help:user/commands/clip.html</a>
However the command parameters explanation is juuuuust a smidgen beyond my limits (almost there...damn!) and cant seems to get this into a working movie (if possible at all).
So, using the emdb entry: 22910 for example case, how can I make a movie that is 10 seconds long and extends through the clipping plane of a given volume, moving front to back (from the "view orient" perspective; the clipping plane will extend forward through the volume, and back again)
Thanks for all your help in this specific case, and for all of the efforts put into to this mailing list. It has been a well spring of fun learning for me over the years. SO many cool tips and tricks to make macro-molecular structures look top notch and cool. THANKS CHIMERA TEAM!!
All the best and well wishes from Japan,
Kako
PS. apologies if this was covered in a previous thread. I must have missed it.
