I asked the Japanese version of EMDB how they visualize electron density files in Jmol:

I am making JVXL files as follows.

1. comvert ccp4 map to 'obj' format data with UCSF Chimera.
Chimera command:
export format OBJ foo.obj

2. modify the obj file for Jmol.
Jmol seems be able to read only 'v' and 'f' lines.

2-1. remove the header and comment lines, such as '#', 'vn', 'g', 
'usemtl', and 'mtllib' lines.
regexp:
'^(#|vn|g|usemtl|mtllib) .+\n' => ''

2-2 replace '1234//1234' with '1234' in 'f' lines.
regexp:
'\/\/[0-9\.]+' => ''

3. export to JVXL format by Jmol.
(This may not be necessary for your purpose, but is helpful to reduce 
the size of the data)

Jmol command:
isosurface obj "foo.obj";
write isosurface "foo.jvxl";

I make the OBJ file for each volume using apChimera.renderSnapshots, but I cannot get the Jmol plugin to read files in the non-local directories, i.e., if the OBJ file is in myami/myamiweb/processing/groel.obj.gz then it works fine, but if the file is in /ami/data00/appion/06jul12a/groel.obj.gz it will not load. The Documentation says it should load if you are using the signed version of the program (for security reasons), but I could not get it to work.

See the Jmol website for docs and info: http://jmol.sourceforge.net/

Hi Amber/Eric, I ran across some document on Jolecule, I think this might be a better solution. The main problem I ran into is that some of our volumes are enormous in size and Java really sucks a ton of memory. I setup Chimera to prepare this data surface data (since it cannot display volume data), but I was having trouble getting to read files not in the myamiweb folder using the signed Jmol applet because of some sort of security reasons.

Check out my other site, where I had it working (seems broken now):

Thanks for the update Neil. FYI, Friday will be Eric's last day at AMI.
