1. When I apply "rotate best" to 1d66, I expect the distance from the 
frontmost to backmost atoms to be minimized, and the distance from the 
leftmost to rightmost atoms to be maximized. Neither appears to happen. 
Do I misunderstand the goal?

" Rotates the model to a calculated "best" orientation for viewing, such 
that the model's containing box is thinnest along the line of site (z), 
and widest horizontally (x)."

When I apply "rotate best" to 3hyd (a linear peptide), the top to bottom 
distance seems to be minimized and the left to right maximized, with the 
front to back intermediate.

If "rotate best" is working properly, could someone please explain it to me?

2. Are there any other commands that automatically rotate the model to 
an optimal orientation? It appears to me that "moveto 
front|top|bottom|left|right|back" relates to the initial (reset) 
orientation, not to any "optimal" orientation.

Thanks, Eric
