[chimerax-users] equivalent to "move cofr"

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Alexis,
Sorry, ChimeraX doesn’t have “move cofr” yet, just the main “move” command for specifying translation.
<http://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/move.html>

Maybe as a stopgap you can do an extremely rough “align” of a few CAs to another atomic structure that is already in the region, or even “matchmaker” if they are similar enough, but I realize that’s not as convenient.  (Also make sure not to mix up the reference and the match protein, or else the one that is in view will disappear in enraging fashion...)

Best,
Elaine
