[Chimera-users] Selecting submodels when they are density maps

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Javier,
The molmap command has a "modelId" option to specify output map model number:
<http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/molmap.html>

Thus, you could give the two maps two different model numbers, and then control them separately with the volume command, for example:

molmap #0:.a 7 mod 2
molmap #0:.b 7 mod 3
vol #2 color hotpink
vol #3 color dodgerblue

I hope this helps,
Elaine
