[Chimera-users] Query on morph command in Chimera

[vinothkumar]

Dear Elaine,
	Thanks for the quick reply. I have the volumes open and all of them are with same threshold but only when I type in command line then the morph starts different from the original volumes. I just figured a way round it. After it has created the morph map as a new model, then I change the levels and record the movie. 

Thanks again


Vinoth

I am able to use the command line - ‘vop morph #0,1,2 constantVolume True model #3 frames 200’ which then interpolates and I could produce a movie. However, by default the threshold for the volumes and level goes to 4. Is there a way to insert in the command line to tell that all the volumes be set to level (1) and a certain threshold.

If you use the “constantVolume” morphing option, however, the threshold will be adjusted to keep the enclosed volume constant.  If you really wanted to keep it exactly at 1 through the whole morph, you would not use that option.
