Hello, this is my first post on this mail list, as I just get acquainted with the capabilities of open source pymol (version 1.6.x as mentioned in the splash screen, installed directly from the repositories of Linux Xubuntu 14.04 LTS, yet synaptic package manager states version 1.7.0.0-1). Among the export functions, a particular interest of mine is the as a idtf file as "precursor" for a 3d pdf mentioned at
http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/3d_pdf where I experience difficulties I want to address here. While the export via the CLI works fine for creating a *.png picture or a VRML *.wrl-geometry, the similar export as *.idtf creates only a header to describe the scenery, but not the (expected) spheres and tubes to represent atoms and molecular bonds. The file generated is the same, regardless if I request the data export via save /home/user directory/target directory/test.idtf or the recommended save /home/user directory/target directory/test.idtf,* Marking/highlighting the molecule in question does not alter the situation. The relative orientation of the model in regard to the observer is provided, however, in the programs command line, like 3Daac=20.0, 3Droll=0, 3Dc2c=0 0 1, 3Droo=50.00, 3Dcoo=0 0 -50.00 In addition, there is no *.tex file written -- well in contrast to the pymol-wiki page -- that I would expect to be created in the very same directory, too. (This is contrast to jmol offering export as *.idtf while simultaneously writing a *.tex file, too.) Should I look up in a different directory instead? May be a mistake during the installation be a reason why I do not obtain (yet) a functional *.idtf? Do I need to load another / an additional plugin to enlarge the export functions?
