[Chimera-users] Export morph confirmation scene to 3D Studio Max

[Edel Fenix]

Hi Elaine,
Thank you! The model is #2 and it has 31 frames in this animation so for me
it should be the following correct?

alias ^getobj export ~/Desktop/chimera/$1.obj
perframe getobj zeropad 3; coordset #2 1,31; wait 31; ~perframe

The problem I have is I get the following error message and it only outputs
the 001 file. The folder exist and is written to.

Best regards,
Edel
