Put the mouse in editing mode (either through the "Mouse" menu in the external GUI or by clicking anywhere in the bottom right region of the graphics window where the mouse functions are described). Then while holding down the "Shift" button the left and middle mouse buttons can be used to rotate and translate an object. Just make sure your mouse is over the object you want to move when you press the mouse button. Just be careful that you haven't picked an atom within the moving object, or that atom will not move.
