In order to do this, you need a page that tells you the current orientation and translation for any loaded model. I offer the following:
http://www.stolaf.edu/people/hansonr/jmol/test/showorient.htm
In order to use this with your own models, you need in the diretory containing your model file:
1) showorient.htm 2) JmolApplet.jar
Then, after you load your model, you can just rotate it around, and this page should tell you the orientation at all times. That is, it will give you the moveTo or rotate/translate sequences necessary to achieve this orientation.
Hope this is of help.

Hi
I run a search for this in the list and there is plenty of discussion around feb.04, but I cannot manage to get hold of a conclusion, so I am posting here.
The problem: i I open a PDB file in Rasmol/Chime and apply certain rotations (some times also translations) to get a view, then save the script and apply it to Jmol, the orientation I get of the molecule is different. Sometimes, a simple "rotate x 90" or "rotate y 90" fixes it (so I guess it has to do with the discussed problem of Y axis orientation), but other times the originally intended Rasmol orientation is very difficult to obtain.
Can anybody summarize how to fix the different orientation in Jmol and Rasmol?
I am trying to port existing tutorials into Jmol.
Thanks for any clue
