[Chimera-users] scaling models

[Rani Wiswedel]

Good day,

Is there any way to ensure that the scale you are looking at is kept constant when taking images of different models? I would like to include photos of pores  from my structure, but each pore is saved in a different file, so I have to re-open Chimera and adjust the view each time. I have the scale bar open and the projection set to orthographic, but I am struggling to manually adjust the view so that the scale bar looks the same length in each picture (attached below is my manual attempt (pic1)). Is there any way to set the scale each time chimera is opened so that I don't end up with pictures that have scale bars that appear to be different sizes?(example of what I would like to achieve is in the second image(pic2))

Thank you!

Regards,
Rani
