Sorry, I'll try to explain better: I have a protein displayed
as surface and I render it using Wavefront. I obtain an .obj
file that cannot be imported into Blender for example. I saw
that if I remove the spaces from the begining of each line I
obtain an .obj file that can be imported into Blender. I would
like to know how to create an .obj file without these 2
spaces, rather than modifing it afterwards. I found
WavefrontDisplayDevice.C script in the source of VMD. Now, if
I modify this script I have to compile VMD, right? I'm working
on Windows and I have some problems compiling it.
Thank you,
Raluca
