I tried moving some structures individually and I can't seem to get this to work either, despite selecting them first, using left, middle and right mouse buttons and all combos of shift, cntrl and alt. If you could please help with this very elementary skill I would very much appreciate it.
In ChimeraX, you have to use a selective-motion mouse mode. Selecting does not automatically mean to move only that part, because that would be very annoying when you're using selection to specify some other action like coloring or joining. See the link below for how to move different models separately from each other (see the "selective manipulation" section at the bottom): <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/ui.html#selective> I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.
