[Chimera-users] Error reading PubChem3D SDF Files

[Jon Fuller]

I tried to read an SDF file directly downloaded from pubchem into Chimera.
However, I ran into the following problem (link to example file used, and
reply log below). Is this expected behaviour, or a bug?

Additionally I tried to import the pubchem CID 71739 (same compound) from
the fetch structure by ID tab, and got the error message:
Unexpected end of file (parser state: counts) in MOL/SDF file 'FILEPATH
HERE!'

Many thanks in advance,

Jon
