Just look at the help for the "turn" command... it has a "center" option that lets you specify the center of rotation to use during the turn. The "center" can be given in several ways, including as x,y,z. <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/turn.html> <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/pointspec.html#point> Best, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Dear ChimeraX users! I am using view command to center the camera on the ligand an then, to rotate th whole system to the desired position: view #1.1 & ligand orient clip false; turn z 90; turn y 45; turn x -90; turn x 77 may I rather center the camera on the center of mass of the ligand calculated using measure center ligand If so, how may I combine the both commands together? Thank you in advance! Enrico
