Hi,

I’m having issues with coloring a surface by volume. When I compare the two volumes I don’t get the larger volume completely colored and even when I set ‘Color outside volume’ to match the same color as the 0 value which in this case is the blue it still renders grey. Can you help me with which step I’m messing up? Thanks.

Fixed.

The "Color outside volume" option of the Surface Color panel was apparently never implemented when it was ported from Chimera to ChimeraX. I added support for it and also added an outsideColor option to the "color sample", "color gradient", and "color electrostatic" commands. The default outsideColor is gray, rgb = (0.5,0.5,0.5).
