I am trying to create a view of a homomultimeric protein by
duplicating the structure of its subunit and rotating them around a
central axis. I am finding this difficult as the commands don't
always behave as I expect them to. Can you tell me the best commands
to use in this task. For example - how to create duplicate objects
(I'm doing this by using duplicate under A menu). How to move one of
the objects without the other. I tried to "protect" one object then
apply commands to the other object. However, I can't figure out how
to get the other object to move around a central axis. When I use
rotate, the object moves around an axis that I can't figure out how to
define. Then I am unable to figure out how to translate it.
Thanks,
Mary Kennedy
