[Chimera-users] Center of model/volume shifts

[Elaine Meng]

Glad to hear you found a solution.  I’m still disconcerted that the solution wasn’t more straightforward.  I tried opening a volume and filtering it, then saving the result, then restarting and reopening both, but they were always aligned if I hadn’t moved anything separately.  If I had moved any model separately and they weren’t aligned, then matrixcopy or reset always worked.

However, my tests were pretty simple and (in my previous experience) sometimes an annoying problem doesn’t appear until after some complex series of operations that is difficult or tedious to reproduce.
Best,
Elaine
