Hi everyone, I need to rotate a model by exactly 90 degrees around the Y axis. Mouse precision is not enough. I spent some time searching the command list for something appropriate, but without success. Is there really no way to do this? Thanks in advance, Konrad. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Konrad Hinsen Centre de Biophysique Moléculaire, CNRS Orléans Synchrotron Soleil - Division Expériences Saint Aubin - BP 48 91192 Gif sur Yvette Cedex, France Tel. +33-1 69 35 97 15 E-Mail: research AT khinsen DOT fastmail DOT net http://dirac.cnrs-orleans.fr/~hinsen/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Konrad, Maybe try the "turn" (turn axis degress) command? "turn y 90" should give you a 90 degree rotation about the y axis On Tue, Dec 20, 2011 at 03:35:29PM +0100, Konrad Hinsen wrote

Yes, "turn" or "roll" specifies exact rotations, "move" exact translations. The rotation commands also allow you to specify center and axis of rotation (it doesn't have to be X, Y, or Z). <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/roll.html> <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/turn.html> <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/move.html> <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/movies.html#moviecommands> Best, Elaine ---------- Elaine C.

Thanks to both of you! I had found "rotation" and even "roll", but not "turn", which is indeed what I need!
