Dear Leila,
The CCP4 program FFT, which generates 3D maps from reflection data
can also produce projections. Use the keyword PROJECTION. It will only
give projections down an axis but if the X-ray SG is trigonal then you
will be OK. Another CCP4 prog MAPSLICER can be used to view the map.

like to be able to take my electron density map (from X-ray) and view it as a
2D projection of 3D space (essentially a contour map). The attached is an
example of the type of electron density map I'm trying to mimic. Does anyone
have any suggestions on what software I could use to do this?
