Hi Gary,
Molecule translation ("independent object motion") is very easy to set up
interactively using the mouse. It can also be scripted with the "mview"
command. Object positions are not stored with scenes, they need to be stored
directly on the movie timeline with key frames.
Scripted example:
https://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Mview#Ligand_binding
Instruction for interactive setup:
- if not already done, extract the molecule to a separate object (select it,
then right click > actions > extract object)
- create frames (with "mset" or "Movie > Append > ...")
- Mouse > 3-Button Motions ("M" button appears in the object menu panel)
- store the initial position of the molecule with "M > store"
- move the movie slider to a different frame
- translate the molecule by dragging it with SHIFT + middle mouse button
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Thomas
