Thank-you for the pointer. I think we have two different implementations. From what I can guess from your webpage, once the user clicks a bond, the scripts somehow selects one of the group from either side of the bond to allow it to rotate (an « allow rotateselected » flag is set in the console). In my webpage ( http://librairiedemolecules.education.fr/outils/scribmol/scrib.html excuse my french), upon clicking the 9th button on top of the jsmol window, a « set picking rotatebond; bind ‘LEFT+drag’ _rotateBranch » command is issued. after clicking on a bond, red circles are displayed around the atoms defining the bond, and when the user drags the mouse, the group located on the side of the screen delimited by the bond, rotates. It is still possible to rotate the entire model, by clicking elsewhere (not on a bond) on the screen (I suspect it’s what you meant by frozen molecule). Paul
