Thanks a lot. I had experimented with fitting pdb structures and calculating their transformation with the match move false showMatrix true command, which slightly differ than measure rotation, I wonder why.
Hi Ahmad,
You can report in the Reply Log the transformation of a model relative to another model with "measure rotation"
<https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/measure.html#rotation>
Also, you can save the current overall transformation of models (including any rotations/translations of the whole scene) to a text file with command "matrixget"
<https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/matrixset.html>
I hope this helps,
Elaine
