Re: [phenixbb] offtopic: Problem with Pymol showing maps

Hi Tanya,

I have several maps from Phenix and want to draw some pictures in Pymol. I am opening the files, renamed to ccp4 or map, or not,

I'm slightly puzzled about this... Are you trying to open X-plor formatted maps? By default phenix.refine writes out only MTZ with map coefficients. Basically, my question is: how you obtained the maps that you are trying to see in PyMol?

If you know some nice simple program to do nice pictures of the electron densities- share your knowledge please!

I always use PyMol for this - it is simple, and you can find all basic commands and temples on the web. Pavel.
