[Chimera-users] Opening Amira segmentations

[Tom Goddard]

Unfortunately Chimera does not handle Amira segmentation files.  Maybe we can add that to ChimeraX or next generation program.  What kind of segmentations do you have?  Are they surfaces?  Or are the per-voxel index maps?

I suspect it means your Amira file does not contain 3D image data (instead it might have segmentation surfaces or some other Amira objects).  The Chimera Amira reader only handles 3d image data.
