orla, If in fact you actually have to move molecules independently using the 'dirty' method that I have suggested, you will probably need the rotate command too, for more flexibility in setting things up.
-------------------------------------------- rotate DESCRIPTION "rotate" can be used to rotate the atomic coordinates of a molecular object. Behavior differs depending on whether or not the "object" parameter is specified. If object is None, then rotate rotates the atomic coordinates according to the axes and angle for the selection and state provided. All representation geometries will need to be regenerated to reflect the new atomic coordinates. If object is set to an object name, then selection and state are ignored and instead of translating the atomic coordinates, the object's representation display matrix is modified. This option is for use in animations only. USAGE rotate axis, angle [,selection [,state [,camera [,object [,origin]]]]] PYMOL API cmd.rotate(list-or-string axis, string selection = "all", int state = 0, int camera = 1, string object = None) EXAMPLES rotate x, 45, pept NOTES if state = 0, then only visible state(s) are affected. if state = -1, then all states are affected. ---------------------------------Cheers,Nickreference:http://pymol.sourceforge.net/newman/ref/S1000comref.html ----- Original Message ----- From: Orla O'Sullivan To: pymol-users@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Thursday, April 20, 2006 6:56 AM Subject: [PyMOL] (no subject) Hi all This probably a very stupid question but its driving me mad. I have produced two Raster 3D scences using molscript and have loaded them into pymol. What I want to do is to be able to move them on screen independent of each other. Is this possible?
