[chimera-dev] Rotation of a single submolecule in a mol2

[christopher lau]

Hi,
I am currently working on a project to modify the ViewDock program to work
on a Tiled Wall Display.  I am reluctant to require the user to download the
daily build to allow use of molecule specific rotations in my TDW ViewDock
program.  I was wondering if there was a way from the Command Line to rotate
a single molecule, say #0.1, without rotating all the molecules in model #0.
 If it is possible to inactivate all the submodels except for #0.1, I can
use the rotation commands (roll, rock, turn) to rotate a single submolecule.
I know that I can split the submolecules into individual molecules and apply
the rotations in this manner, but that would make the data handling very
difficult.  I was having problems learning how to deactivate models using
the select command with the current stable version of chimera.  I was
wondering if anyone had any insight on this problem.  I would prefer to not
require the daily build and would not want to use the split command line
command to separate the submolecules into separate molecules for rotation.

Thanks for your help,

Chris
