OK, I see my mistake, Don't introduce something that opens a whole new can of worms. :)

I think you will have to click on a LINK (beside the model) to rotate it around that axis. But this does suggest some interesting ideas, like being able to use points defined some way and, yes, I guess they MIGHT be clickable. Why not, right?

Imagine:

draw line1 (atomno=10) (atomno=11)
rotate [line1] 30
spin [line1]

Ooooh, THAT will give someone here a headache to code!

draw plane1 0.0 0.0 0.0   0.0 1.0 0.0  1.0 1.0 0.0  1.0 0.0 0.0
reflect [plane1]

It occurs to me that reflection is the operation missing here, probably because people interested only in large biomolecules wouldn't have any use for it. Same goes for inversion:

draw point1 0.0 0.0 0.0
invert [point1]

But these could be very interesting for those of us more on the small-molecule side of things.

Lots of potential here.

Then it would also really be nice to be able to click on these have the symmetry operation be performed. I did something like that a long time ago with VRML, but that technology is not really much supported on most platforms anymore...
