So, your two molecular models are completely lined up and oriented in the same direction. And the coordinates are more/less he same. Q: Will this situation happen frequently, or infrequently? > Which part of the code needs to be changed to be able to do this ? Depends upon the solution. One solution is that we consider this a 'file merge' issue. That is, we really just want to slam the files together, as though they were multiple MODELs within a PDB file. In this case we can extend the file input side. Either to take more than one name at reader time, and/or to read a .zip file that contains multple models within it, and/or read all the files in a subdirectory that contains multiple models. We should be able to accomplish this by working within the org.jmol.adapter.smarter IO package and never touch the core Jmol code. Per my previous message, I think that you should first try this by hand. By editing your pdb/cif/xyz file and putting both molecules in the same file, but as separate models. If you find your test results satisfactory, and if you successfully argue that this will solve a general class of problems, then we can think seriously about implementing it in Jmol.
