Hi Dave, You can set the chain identifier for each object
alter object, chain="A" And then you can create a new object create alltogether, chain A+B+C+D That object you can then use for fitting. Hope it helps, Tsjerk On Wed, Oct 3, 2012 at 7:22 PM, Bourgaize David <dbourga...@whittier.edu> wrote: > Hello, all. > > First let me announce that I am not a PyMOL poweruser, and I have virtually > no experience with crystallography and its data files.
