[Chimera-users] cage builder

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Artur,
Sorry, there is no option for polygons with N sides >7 in the Cage Builder tool.
<http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/cagebuilder/cagebuilder.html>

You can create arbitrary polygon objects and other shapes in the BILD input format (a simple text file), but in that case you have to specify the vertex coordinates yourself — it doesn’t automatically form enclosed cages.

I hope this helps,
Elaine
