Hello, Switching to ChimeraX, I find myself looking for an equivalent to "move cofr <https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/move.html#cofr>". Is there one? The use case is: I'm working on a particular part of a map & structure, I open a structure of a homologuous domain from the PDB, but its coordinates are way off, and I want to move it to the region I'm working on without having to zoom out and drag it. My apologies if this is in the documentation somewhere, I'm still finding my way around. Cheers, Alexis

Hi Alexis, Sorry, ChimeraX doesn’t have “move cofr” yet, just the main “move” command for specifying translation. <http://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/move.html> Maybe as a stopgap you can do an extremely rough “align” of a few CAs to another atomic structure that is already in the region, or even “matchmaker” if they are similar enough, but I realize that’s not as convenient. (Also make sure not to mix up the reference and the match protein, or else the one that is in view will disappear in enraging fashion...) <http://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/align.html> <http://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/matchmaker.html> Best, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Thanks Elaine, I'll survive without "move cofr" for now :) Cheers, Alexis On 2/8/19 2:01 PM, Elaine Meng wrote:
