Alexander,
I'm still a little confused about your objective. Try this. Go to:
http://chemagic.com/web_molecules/script_page_large.aspx
Click the Molecular Editor link. Click "duplicate." There are now two
models in the window. Click "move." After you click "move," either model
can be click/dragged (translated) to any position in the window. If you
hold down the shift key, the model will rotate rather than translate. Is
that what you want?
I should mention that you can drag individual atoms. The command "set
picking dragAtom" will allow you to do this. The "drag" link on my page
above will do the same thing. After you click the "drag" link, you can
click-drag individual atoms within a model - i.e. sculpt the model one
atom at a time. Is that what you would like to do, albeit several atoms
rather than just one?

Hi Alexander-
I'm not sure exactly what you want to do, but if you want to
independently translate or rotate non-bonded models, or rotate about a
given bond (i.e. conformation rotation), then there is a really simple
way to do either of these.
1) With one or more models in the same window, the command "set picking
dragMolecule" will allow you to click/drag the models independently.
Shift/click/drag will allow independent rotation.
(dragMolecule is missing from the documentation)
Anyway it works fine and smooth for _molecules_, not for some atom
selection. I want to use it (and have) to work with proteins. For
example to align a dimer (two molecules) with a lipid bilayer patch.
Whenever there are multiple molecules involved, the majority of
existing functions offer no easy solutions. "set dragSelected ON" does
work for translating all selected atoms, regardless weather they are
from one or more molecules.
