[Chimera-users] independent rotation of multiple models

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Stefano,
There is an “independent” rotation mode in which each model uses its own center.  You can use command “set independent”  or menu: Tools… Movement… Rotation (it’s also a tab under the Side View), change “center of rotation method” to “independent".

I’ve often used this, for example, to make movies of side-by-side rotating structures.

I hope this helps,
Elaine
