If the single structure is already oriented exactly with the stack direction in Z (or X or Y) then just open multiple copies of the structure and (**without rotating the view by hand** important!!) use the "move" command to place the copies along the axis.<br>
<br>
E.g. if the starting structure is oriented exactly so that you can stack them in Z (in/out of screen direction), and you know they are supposed to be 35 angstroms apart, then:<br>
<br>
open myfile.pdb<br>
open myfile.pdb<br>
open myfile.pdb<br>
<br>
... then you would have models #0,1,2. To stack (REMEMBER don't rotate the view by hand yet!):<br>
<br>
move z 35 model #1<br>
move z 70 model #2<br>
<br>
If it were X or Y axis instead of Z, then you would use x or y in the command instead of z. If you mess up you can use command "reset" and then start over with the move commands.<br>
<br>
See "move" help:<br>

<br>
After you are done opening/stacking, then you can rotate the view by hand.<br>
I hope this helps,<br>
