this means that if I just want to duplicate a small region of the model
(one chain, or even just one residue or atom) I would have to load the whole
model again? I can see this could work, but when I have big proteins,
or a significant number of duplicates (~60+), this is not a very practical
approach.
It would be a nice feature to have something like:
duplicate (my_selection) {my_rotation_mtx} {my_trans_vec} (with_respect_to)
(where_to_put_it);
The optional fourth parameter could say if the transformation is
with respect to the model's origin or any other specified center.
The fifth optional parameter could say where to put the
duplicate; 1.2,1.3,1.4,etc or 2.1,3.1,4.1,etc, or maybe just do it
automatically incrementing those numbers...
BTW, thanks Bob and Frieda, " zap;set echo top left;echo
Loading....;refresh;load xxxx.pdb"
did the trick!
