Dear Gudrun, I have no experience with PyMOL on Mac. Maybe this helps: http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Mouse_Controls
Deselecting objects does not help, because by default you transform in camera space, which affects all objects. What you need is transformation in model space, which is achieved by "A > drag" or "A > drag matrix" for a particular object. Here an example to use the command line: translate [10,0,0], object=axes Hope that helps. Cheers, Thomas On 02/27/2012 03:21 PM, Gudrun Lotze wrote: > Dear Thomas Thank you for your reply.
