Did you know...

set_symmetry can be used to define or redefine the crystal and spacegroup parameters for a molecule or map object.

set_symmetry selection, a, b, c, alpha, beta, gamma, spacegroup

cmd.set_symmetry(string selection, float a, float b, float c,
     float alpha,float beta, float gamma, string spacegroup)

# PyMOL command line
set_symmetry 1a2p, 60, 60, 80, 90, 90, 120, P6122

# API
cmd.set_symmetry("1a2p", 60, 60, 80, 90, 90, 120, spacegroup="P6122")

The new symmetry will be defined for every object referenced by the selection.
