[Chimera-users] resampling maps

Wed Apr 2 23:30:50 PDT 2014

Just in case anybody else has a similar question and finds this thread in
the mailing list archives, I wanted to follow up:

I tried your suggestion of vop scale #0 value float32. Unfortunately this
makes the map lose its orientation.

But, your explanation told me that if I convert the map to 32-bit, it will
resample OK. Therefore, I
-saved the open session where I oriented all my models,
-made a temp directory and moved all the models into it,
-generated float32 version of the map with the same name, e.g. e2proc3d.py
./temp/model.mrc ./model.mrc
-and reopened the Chimera session. Then I can resample and save all the
maps!

Tom, thanks a lot for helping me figure this out and also for fixing the
bug in the new version.
Sincerely,
Jason
