Maybe the "matrixget" command would meet your needs; it writes out a
<br>
transformation matrix, 3x3 rotation matrix + translation vector, for <br>
each model:<br>
<<a
href="http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/matrixset.html">http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/matrixset.html</a>><br>
<br>
You can write it to a file or just to the Reply Log. If to a file, <br>
you can later apply the transformation(s) by reading the file with the <br>
"matrixset" command (same man page as above).<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
