[Chimera-users] save manipulated electron density maps in spider

[Elaine Meng]

Dear Jan-Christian,
You can save BRIX format from recent versions of Chimera, with  
"File... Save map as" in the Volume Viewer menu or with the "volume"  
command.

Probably you just need to get a newer version!  This ability was  
added after the Nov 2007 release.  Try getting the snapshot from this  
month:
