Hi Navya, If you have a 3-button mouse you move the atomic model with the middle button. If that is not working then you probably have the mouse modes assigned differently. You can look at and change what the mouse buttons do with menu entry Features / Preferences category Mouse. Usually button 2 is assigned to translate in x and y (second column of table). It may not be assigned to that operation if you have used other tools like volume path tracer or volume subregion selection that reassign mouse button 2. Tom swetha davuluri wrote:

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I am trying to move the atomic model using the mouse. But I can only rotate the model but not transitionally shift it i.e. I am not able to move the model either up/down and sideways. Not sure how to do this. Please let me know.

Thank you, Navya.

Hi Navya,

The first step is to move the atomic model using the mouse close to the correct location in the EM map. The Fit Model in Map tool will not move the atomic model if its initial position lies outside the map. Here are instructions on how to do the fitting.
