Eduard, Thank you for pointing out some current deficiencies in PyMOL. This may not be the optimal tool for your task.
While it is possible to move molecules and fragments of molecules, there isn't (yet) any way to move an arbitrary selection...disconnected atoms either need to be moved one by one, or object by object. Likewise, there isn't any way to view the coordinates with a simple click. Cheers, Warren -- Warren L. DeLano, Ph.D. Principal Scientist . DeLano Scientific LLC . 400 Oyster Point Blvd., Suite 213 .
