Hello there,
I am making a fo-fc map for one ligand using pymol. I strictly followed the pymol wiki protocol (Display CCP4 Maps). Finally, I can get the ligand map using command: isomesh fo-fc_ligand, omitmap, 3, ligand, carve=2. However, the problem is the map I got from pymol is smaller than the one I can see in coot at the same contour level (3.0). So I gave a second trial based on the assumption that it may be caused by the mis-normalization. I input the command: "unset normalize_ccp4_maps" to stop PyMOL from normalizing a cpp4 map. After that I loaded my ccp4 map file and tried to do the same things as what I did for the first time. But I could not see any mesh net (density map) shown up. I check the command window. *PyMOL>unset normalize_ccp4_maps* * Setting: normalize_ccp4_maps set to off.* * ObjectMapCCP4: Map Size 134 x 128 x 122* * ObjectMapCCP4: Map will not be normalized.* * ObjectMapCCP4: Current mean = -0.000066 and stdev = 0.074981.* * ObjectMap: Map read.

I also tried to show the whole mesh at level 2.0 for bdligand002. I still could not see the density map. My pymol is version 1.3 in windows 8 operation system. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
