independent rotation of multiple models
Hello, if I have more than one structure in the same session, is there a way to rotate all models together along their respective axes (for example their intrinsic y-axis) without having to do so after selecting each individual model from the model panel? Regards and thanks, Stefano Ciurli
Hi Stefano, There is an “independent” rotation mode in which each model uses its own center. You can use command “set independent” or menu: Tools… Movement… Rotation (it’s also a tab under the Side View), change “center of rotation method” to “independent". <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/set.html#independent> <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/sideview.html#rotation> I’ve often used this, for example, to make movies of side-by-side rotating structures. I hope this helps, Elaine ---------- Elaine C. Meng, Ph.D. UCSF Computer Graphics Lab (Chimera team) and Babbitt Lab Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry University of California, San Francisco
