Re: [PyMOL] saving maps for a presentation

[Pete M. <pa...@mc...>]

I don't know if there's a way to do this from within pymol, but it's 
fairly straightforward to do using mapman (from ccp4) - or your favorite 
map utility.

That is why I am wondering if there is a way to save the carved ED around the ligands as  a volume object and use this for the life presentation instead of the maps?  I found a short article named "volume" and mentioning of the "map_new" but I could not fine a fuller description of these commands.
