Also, a "semi-automated" way to put them on the same plane is with the following 3 commands:

align #0 #1  (put one in front of the other)
turn y 90   (turn everything 90 degrees, so they're side by side)
window   (make sure they are both visible)

It still may not look great because they can still be pretty far apart.  I think you would have to use a Python script to ensure they were side by side and still close together.

Friends,
I open two pdb files. When i visualize them, one model is far away
from the viewer and another is closer. I want to put both models on
the same plane in order to make a figure. Is there any way to do this
without doing a fitting.

Thanks,
Bala
