Hi,

Make sure your mouse mode is set to 3-button editing mode !

*How to move stuff around in PyMOL?*

To move molecules around one have to activate 3-button editing mouse mode.
Easiest way to do it is to click on "Mouse Mode - 3-Button Viewing" in the
lower right corner of the main window. Then you will be able to move single
molecule while holding down *shift* key:

   - left mouse button rotates molecule
   - middle mouse button moves molecule
   - right mouse button moves molecule closer or farther

Cheers,

Rajesh.
