Hi Jordan,

you can first intra_fit the multi-state object and then align its first 
state to the input structure.

# this will fit all states to the first state
intra_fit multimodel

# align first state to input structure
align multimodel, input, mobile_state=1

(PyMOLWiki seems to be down at the moment?)

A nicer fit might be possible with theseus, which does a down-weighting 
of flexible parts of your structure.

Regarding your question "is their a command that can add a bunch of 
states back together", there is "join_states" if you have psico 
installed. http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Psico

Cheers,
   Thomas
