Dear all,

I'm trying to place a fragment in certain position. I did this (on Python IDLE):

from BuildStructure import placeFragment

placeFragment( fragment, resName, model = 'scratch', position=None)

Where fragment = benzene and resName = RING6 but I am not sure about that . Could you give me an example of placeFragment code?

Hi Elisabeth, This will place a benzene ring at the center of the view in a new residue named "BZN" in a new model named "scatch": from BuildStructure import placeFragment from BuildStructure.Fragment import RING6, fragDict placeFragment(fragDict[RING6]["benzene"], "BZN") Let me know if you have more questions. Though the placeFragment function does have some documentation, the Fragment.py file doesn't. Sorry about that. --Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu P.S. I cc'ed the chimera-dev mailing list on this since that list deals more with programming questions.
