Walkthrough on membrane models

This walkthrough is a step-by-step guide that teaches how to extract subtomograms from structures with large surfaces (e.g., membranes) using the Dynamo surface models.

Data

We are going to demonstrate the basic ideas and tools on a synthetic dataset. This data is already available in the catalogue manager. It can be accessed by first opening the catalogue manager using the command:

dcm

After the catalogue manager opens, we create the synthetic tomogram that includes a large surface (membrane) in the following way:
