Thank you Elaine! I did it like this: # calculate com for the ligand define centroid ligand name lig_com # then view the new model of the centroid view #1.1.3 orient clip false; turn z 90; turn y 45; turn x -90; turn x 77 wait one question: I have not found a way to use the "view" with the name of the model "lig_com", always operating with the model number (#1.1.3). May I use "lig_com" for the same operation? Cheers Enrico вт, 18 янв. 2022 г. в 19:45, Elaine Meng <meng@cgl.ucsf.edu>:
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.

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
