Re: [PyMOL] moving objects freely

The "drag" action provides an easier to use solution.  Right click on the
atom, select molecule/chain/object then drag.

>From that point on, shift-left, shift-middle, and shift-right click can be
used to move those atoms.

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.

Cheers,
Rob

[PyMOL] moving objects freely

2007-10-04 Thread Tom 
From time to time, I have a need to manually move objects relative to
one another.  For example, manual docking of a ligand requires that it the
translated and rotated relative to its binding pocket.  It there a simple,
intuitive way to do this?

 

Thank a lot,
