[PyMOL] How to dislocate independently each structure when you have loaded two structures?

2007-06-27 Thread Júlio César
Hi,

I have loaded two structure and tried to dislocate one independent on the
other, but I couldn't. Is it possible to do thit?
I would like to know how to dislocate independently each structure when you
have loaded two structures?

Thanks,

Julio Cesar da Silva

 Hi Julio,
 
 If I understood you right, you can simply use translate, eg.:
 translate [20,0,0], mol_to_dislocate
 
 The important thing is that turn and move modify the camera, while 
 translate and rotate modify the coordinates.
 
 Cheers,
 Andreas

Or you can put the mouse in editing mode (click in the bottom corner of
the main graphics window where the mouse functions are described) and
you'll now see that Shift middle-button is labelled MovO and Shift
left-button is labelled RotO. So you can use Shift middle-button
to translate one object and Shift left-button to rotate one object
relative to the other. You just have to be careful that you pick your
atom carefully if the two objects are superimposed.

Cheers,
Rob
