Did you know... Movit Hi everyone ! I wanted to see roughly if one protein could dock on another one, and could not find any mouse setting allowing to do that. Here is a script that does just that. USAGE : movit <selection> The selection can now be translated/rotated with the following keyboard shortcuts: q,a : x translation w,s : y translation e,d : z translation r,f : x rotation t,g : y rotation y,h : z rotation Use : run movit.py during startup. Then, 'movit selection'. It is not very practical, does anybody know how to do that with the mouse instead of just one step at a time like here ? <source lang="python"> from pymol import cmd def movit(selection="all"): """USAGE : movit <selection> The selection can now be translated/rotated with the following keyboard shortcuts: q,a : x translation w,s : y translation e,d : z translation r,f : x rotation t,g : y rotation y,h : z rotation """ line="translate ..→
