Hi Jean-Francois, Either set "center of rotation method" to "independent" in the Rotation tool (under Tools... Movement): http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/sideview.html#rotation or use the command "set independent": http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/set.html You can see this in action in the "COX Inhibitors Demo" (under Tools... Demos). ----- Elaine C.
