1. Load PDB file
[1b. Hide meshes & surfaces; just show lines, sticks, or ribbons]
[1c. Unpick any picked atoms by clicking the "unpick" button.]
2. Select "3 Button Editing" from the Mouse menu
3. Shift-left-click-and-drag on any atom to rotate
4. Shift-middle-click-and-drag on any atom to translate
5. Ctrl-shift-middle-click on any atom to change the origin of rotation
or use the "origin" command
6. Save your transformed structure to a PDB file.
save test.pdb
CTRL-Z will undo the last transformation
CTRL-A will redo the last transformation
Cheers,
Warren
