Hi Esther,
There is a Matchmaker option to bring other models along with the one that is being moved.  If you are using the Matchmaker GUI, it's in the Fitting tab: "If one model being matched, also move these models along with it". 
<https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/tools/matchmaker.html>

 If you are using the command, it's the "bring" option:

I hope this helps,
Elaine
