feature request: add bring option to the align command
Hello, I really love (and depend on) the "bring" option to the "matchmaker" command. Occasionally though, I have to fall back on "align" when I need to specify atoms that should be superposed. Would you please consider adding a "bring" option to the "align" command? Cheers, Alexis
Hi Alexis, Did you know the "view position" command can move models to have the same positioning as another model? view position #2 sameAs #1 will update the placement of model #2 to match the position and orientation of model #1. My match the position and orientation I mean that if model #1 has been rotated and translated a certain amount relative to its initial position (by any means) the this command will rotate and translate model #2 by the same amount relative to model #2's initial position.

Thanks Tom! I think my brain once held that piece of information (perhaps before "bring" existed as an option), but I had definitely forgotten about it. This does exactly what I need it to. Thank you for telling me about it (again?). (I still think "bring" would be nice with "align") Cheers, Alexis On Mon, Aug 4, 2025 at 1:30 PM Tom Goddard <goddard@sonic.net> wrote:

Hi James, I've added your email to the ticket so you will get notified of any changes. Unfortunately our Trac ticketing system does not seem to allow users to request notifications for a ticket themselves. But it is fine to send us email and request we add your email to a ticket. That helps us know there is more interest in a new feature and makes us implement it sooner. Tom
