[Chimera-users] match command

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Hernando,
I believe you want this:

match #0:ADP.A #1:ADP.A  move atoms

First you give the atoms to match, and then there is a “move” option for whether to move the only the atoms or their whole models. As you saw, moving the whole models is the default.

I hope this helps,
Elaine
