Hi Cathy, Thanks for pointing out the lack of documentation on this. I'll make a note to add some. You need to click on the torsion-general icon, then click 4 atoms that describe the torsion - the first atom will be the base (non moving) part of the atom tree, on clicking the 4th atom a dialog will pop up with a "Reverse" button [1]. Move this dialog out of the way and then left mouse click and drag in the main window will rotate the moving/"top" part of the residue round the clicked atoms 2 and 3. When you are happy, click "Accept". Window focus may be an issue - depending on your setting, the window manager may eat one of your clicks as you change focus between the dialog and the main graphics window (this I find annoying and there are instructions in the FAQ on how to turn that off for various systems). Paul. [1] which may not work in 0.6-pre (grumble/sigh/sorry). If it doesn't not work, the "Reverse" button should invert the moving and "base" part of the residue.
