Christoph,
So rotateSelected is what you want. (Also just two words: ROTATE SELECTED.)
As Angel mentions, I don't think you will run into any trouble here unless
you want to apply multiple rotation/translations. In that case, you could
save the rotation/translation as a Jmol variable in the form of a quaternion
and just do a reset. But also, we do have
save coordinates xxxx
restore coordinates xxxx
So you COULD do that if you felt you needed to. That does require some
amount of memory, so in certain cases (ribosome, virus capsid) that can be a
problem.
