Hi Fei, Re: moving models separately
You can select part of the model (Ctrl-click) you want to move, and then use the mouse mode to “translate selected models” or “rotate selected models”… the unselected ones will not be affected by that mouse button. If you use the icons on the left side of the window to assign the function to the mouse, that assigns only “button 3” (right button), but you can use the “mousemode” command to assign any button, optionally in combination with some other key like Shift.

Hi, This is Fei from University of Pittsburgh. Here is a question about chimera x. By introducing two structures into the chimera x, how can I move the one structure over so that they're no longer covering each other? Thanks. Best, Fei
