5366	Volume contour level for NIH 3D printable surface	phil.cruz@…	Eric Pettersen	"At today's NIAID meeting (Oct 7, 2021) we discussed a problem with the NIH 3D pipeline making a 3D printable surface for emdb 8116.  It uses ""hide dust"" which hides almost all of the fragmented virus capsid surface at the default threshold and step 4.  At step 1 the surface is reasonable but the map size is 768 x 768 x 768 which makes the surface too large for printing.

We could try to detect that hide dust is hiding most of the surface and then try a lower contour level.

Other ideas we discussed include using ""volume bin"" with bin size 4.  A test showed that the default threshold for the original map is way too high since the binned map has even lower intensity values due to averaging.
