In the way I set it up, you start the sync, you line up the two molecules using model B, and then you move model A around to maintain the sync. One is always independent, in the sense that you can move it all around by itself, but if you move the OTHER model, then the first model follows. So you can do exactly what you want to do, but there is no turning on/off sync. You just make sure you always manipulate one model to align, the other to keep them synced. Or, to put it another way, you were just moving the wrong model. But I think you should be able to LOCK the two models the way you are suggesting so that either one when you move it drags the other around. Sort of a mutual sync. I'll have to think about why that is not happening when you use sync * ON.
