[chimerax-users] question about chimerax

[Tom Goddard]

For more precise movement you can use a command.

	move x 10 model #2

or

	move 10,0,0 model #2

will move model #2 by 10 Angstroms along the screen x axis.  You can also move along the x-axis of the molecule coordinate system with

	move 10,0,0 model #2 coordinateSystem #2

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.
