modelz

To Install:

1. First, download and install UCSF Chimera.

• Run it once before installing the plugin; on some platforms, e.g. MacOS, you may see a warning message on first run which you have to accept. This may prevent further issues after adding the plugin.
• On Windows, install to your home folder rather than to "Program Files". In the latter, the OS may not allow further modifications at a user level, i.e. adding this plugin.

2. Download latest version of ModelZ.
3. In a terminal, navigate to where the file was downloaded, then execute the following commands:

• unzip modelz_chimera_1_2.zip
• cd modelz_chimera_1_2
• python install.py [path to Chimera]

e.g.:

• python install.py ~/Desktop/Chimera.app/

Note that on Windows, you may use the python bundled with Chimera itself, so the third command would be

• [path to Chimera]\bin\python install.py [path to Chimera]

To Run:

1. (Re)start Chimera

• On Mac OS, an error message may be shown on first run after installing, see here for solution.

2. Start ModelZ: Tools -> Volume Data -> ModelZ
3. See more details and tutorials
