Hi Paul,
I could not find NCS copy chain function under my coot 0.4.1. I was trying to update my coot using fink, but failed. So I did it in a maybe unusual way: 1, I use SSM superinpose my A chain to B, C, D, accoring to the rotation and translation matrix I got from coot , I run pdbset to creat chain B,C,D from rebuilt-A chain one by one 2, then I open chain A and converted chain B,C,D in coot again and merged then It is a bit labourious..... thanks!
