Now I'd like to be able to do this graphically with the mouse on a selected residue. I have almost found what I want if I use the 'Move selection' option in the 'Movement Mouse mode' but this does rotate around the center of Mass or geometric center, not around a vector. What I plan to do is derive the code from the corresponding /share/MoveSelection/move.py module and try to insert a vector instead of the center_of_rotation(self.movable_groups) but there is maybe a better, simpler idea. Any suggestion? Thanks a lot -- -------------------------------- Patrick Ladam Ma?tre de Conf?rence Universit?

Movement): <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/constrained/constra...> (The purpose of "Movement Mouse Mode" is different, mainly to allow moving subparts of a model. By default, mouse manipulation moves whole models.) You can also specify center and axis of rotation if using commands (turn, roll). <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/turn.html> <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/roll.html> I hope this helps, Elaine ---------- Elaine C.

What I would need is to use the constrained mouse rotation on a subpart of the model (a previously selected residue or set of atoms for instance). So my guess is I should start from this Constrained Move module and modify it to apply the movements to the currently selected residue or atoms. At the moment I am going throught the code to see how to do it, I'll probably need some advice later on. Thanks again Patrick
