[chimerax-users] Independent centres of rotation

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Taha,

  Is the idea you want the mouse mode to rotate models each about their own center, or you want to record a movie rotating all in parallel?  The ChimeraX mouse mode does not support it.  But you can record a movie with a command file spin.cxc like this:

movie record
turn y 1 360 model #1
turn y 1 360 model #2
turn y 1 360 model #3
turn y 1 360 model #4
wait 360
movie encode spin.mp4

   Tom

This could be easily achieved by 'set independent' in the original Chimera, and is much missed by our group of structural biologists.
