>Hi,
>I was trying to overlay two volumes one from PDB and other from single particle reconstruction software EMAN (*.mrc). When I open EMAN generated 3D volume and then PDB file, EMAN 3D volume got reduce. However, when EMAN generated 3D volume is only in the 'volume viewer' screen, there is no change. Furthermore, if I press 'center' tab of 'volume viewer' volume became squeeze again.
