Hi Paul,

        I used to use the following text to create a custom menu that I would 
load into O (i.e. as a ".omac" file).  The command I think you are looking for 
is "trig_refresh".  Once you defined a distance and/or angle, activate the 
trig_refresh and then as you move atoms/pieces around, the distances/angles are 
updated.

menu centre_id on ;
menu trig_refresh on ;
menu dist_define on ;
menu angle_define on ;
menu grab_atom on ;
menu grab_group on ;
menu clear_flags on ;
menu clear_id on ;
menu @add_water on;
menu refi_fix_atom on;

Subject: [ccp4bb] Model Building: continuous update of distances as fragment 
moved

In doing some model building I want to move a domain of a protein 
manually, as a rigid body, and see in real time continuous updates of 
some distances from points on the domain to the rest of the protein (we 
have cross linking data).
I dimly remember being able to do with this O,at least a decade ago 
(probably more),  but it doesn't seem to work in current versions (I 
have even dimmer recollections that this might have been a special 
feature of a particular graphics card in an SGI)
In any event, does anyone know of anything that might allow us to do 
this? { I am not asking about computational ways of exploring alternate 
packing of the domain to satisfy distances ( I know about these) - 
rather we want to get a feel for what is possible by "seeing" it for 
ourselves).
