[modeller_usage] "Structure not read in" error

["Omid Khalouei" <>]

Hello,

I am just starting to use Modeller. Even though I have a major in computer 
science, have used many bioinformatics tools, and am familiar with Python, I 
haven't been able to figure out how to run this program. To be honest I 
don't find it that user-friendly!
Basically I'm not sure in which folder I have to put my alignment and PDB 
coordinate files. This is the alignment file that I have created but am not 
sure if it meets the specifications (they both refer to HIV-1 protease, 
residues 1 to 99 of chain A);

The error message that I'm getting is "Structure not read in:    1" and it's 
raised from the Modeller8v1\modlib\modeller\util\top.py file.

I would appreciate your help on this.
