Hello-
I'm using a data statement to add a detached ethane to a model so that I can
edit the ethane and add the subsequent substructure to the original model.
This all works well within the context of the editors click callback
routines.
Subsequent clean-up or the new structure by "minimize" makes it clear that
it would be nice to rotate the original model relative to the substructure
prior to the substructure attachment. The minimize works best if the two
fragments are in a chemically logical position prior to attachment.
Is there any way to click/rotate the original structure independent of the
substructure? Alternatively, can Jmol's left, right, back, front, top,
bottom be applied to the original model independent of the new substructure?
This latter approach could be used to put almost any atom in the original
molecule close to a chemically logical attaching position of the
substructure.
