[chimerax-users] question about chimerax

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Fei,
Re: moving models separately 

You can select part of the model (Ctrl-click) you want to move, and then use the mouse mode to “translate selected models” or “rotate selected models”… the unselected ones will not be affected by that mouse button.  If you use the icons on the left side of the window to assign the function to the mouse, that assigns only “button 3” (right button), but you can use the “mousemode” command to assign any button, optionally in combination with some other key like Shift.

I hope this helps,
Elaine
