Have a map move with its model

Hi, I renamed my map and model to be #9.1 and #9.2, thinking this would make them move together. However, when I used matchmaker to match the model to align it to another model, only the model moved and the map did not. To start with, I used fitmap #9.1 inMap #9.2, but now the model is elsewhere. If I go back and do fitmap again, it moves the wrong thing (I want to put the map where the model is now, not vice versa). Is there something I am missing, or is there a different way to do this? Thanks very much. Sincerely, Esther

Hi Esther, There is a Matchmaker option to bring other models along with the one that is being moved. If you are using the Matchmaker GUI, it's in the Fitting tab: "If one model being matched, also move these models along with it". <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/tools/matchmaker.html> If you are using the command, it's the "bring" option: <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/matchmaker.html> I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.
