The way things generally work in ChimeraX is that each model/map is stored internally with its original coordinates unchanged, along with one or more transforms placing it into scene coordinates. Saving model A relative to model/map B means that the coordinates to be saved are transformed such that A overlays with the original B in the same way you see in the scene. That can get a little complex if both model and map have been moved... if you just want to save things exactly as they are shown, uncheck the checkbox entirely and everything will be written in scene coordinates.

Is it just a case of copying the relevant CRYST1 card? I think Faisal is asking how to save new/modified coordinates but probably I misunderstood... Cheers, Jon.C.

What you are suggesting is for Chimera. I dont see any such option in ChimeraX. That save relative to section does not appear here or may be there is a different way of saving model relative to map in ChimeraX. Please correct me if I am wrong.

But the quick run-down: using the File/Save dialogue, you'll see a checkbox with "Save relative to model: " and then a drop-down menu. Just choose the map in the drop-down menu, and you should get the result you want.

Does anyone know if a similar feature exists in ChimeraX ? Is there a way where the coordinates .pdb/cif file can be saved with respect to its map in ChimeraX ?
