[Eric Pettersen]

Reported by Cesar Menor-Salvan

[Tom Goddard]

ChimeraX crashed trying to show a ribbon depiction of a molecule. If you can provide the molecule file (e.g. PDB) and it repeatedly crashes I could look at why. My guess would be there is something bad about the data, like atoms exactly on top of each other. Another suggestion is to update to current ChimeraX 1.5, although I don't think anything in the ribbon computation code has changed.

[cesar.menor@…]

Hi Tom,

Probably the crash was due to the enormous size of the file and the limitations of memory of the old system I used. The PDB is 7Y5E

thank you!

Cesar

ChimeraX Issue Tracker

[Tom Goddard]

That 7y5e PDB model is a monster with 1.2 million atoms and 150,000 residues. But ribbons show fine for me in ChimeraX 1.5 on Windows and Mac. Maybe it will work for you if you update ChimeraX.

I was surprised how long it took to compute the ribbons, about 30 seconds, while larger structures such as 3j3q at 2.4 million atoms and 300,000 atoms took only 6 seconds. I will investigate why it takes so long to compute the ribbons for 7y5e.

[Tom Goddard]

I see the ribbons take only 4 seconds to compute the second time. I made a ticket #8446 to see why it is so slow the first time (​https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/trac/ChimeraX/ticket/8446).
