The "rotate" and "translate" commands can do this *if* you append the object=object-name to the command:
Try typing in the following sequence of commands: fragment arg fragment glu translate [5,0,0], object=arg translate [-5,0,0], object=glu origin arg, object=arg origin glu, object=glu rotate y, 10, object=arg rotate y, -10, object=glu Note that these movements are accomplished via matrix and not coordinate transformations, so interacting with the molecules after they have been moved is currently a bit problematic (bugs to fix...). However, you can move complex geometries like surfaces without forcing recalcuation using this approach. Normally for movies, you'd embed commands like the above into movie commands. For that to work, you'll also need commands like: reset object=arg reset object=glu in the first movie frame. Cheers, Warren PS.
