[chimerax-users] Rotate bond move large/small option in VR

[Lewandowski, Jozef]

Thank you both. Works like a charm. I like the solution with the rotation being defined by which side of the bond one clicks – that is exactly the type of thing I need.
It gives me an error when I accidentally click at the center but I can live with that and just have to be careful with my selection.

Thanks again,
Józef

Not sure why this was hard to find since it’s a documented arg of new_rotation, but just do this:

br = self.session.bond_rotations.new_rotation(pick_bond, move_smaller_side=False)
