Hello seven32
Yes, as Rolf said, "zoomto" is your best choice and should do what
you want without any need for calcuating rotations.
You can use several wasy to specify the residue, please see "atom
expressions" in the documentation
e.g.
zoomto 1.0 { Ser162 } 0; // residue will fit the Jmol panel
zoomto 0.5 { Ser162:A } 0;
zoomto 0.5 { 162 } 0;
zoomto 0.5 { 162-163 } 0 *0.9; // zoom out a little, to 90%
Bringing the residue to the front, as you want, will be harder and
may not be possible in an automatic way. Please check the "best"
option of "rotate" command to see if you can get something.
Another choice, if you wnat ot define manually the orientation you
like for some specific case (residue), would be to position the model
manually and then retrieving the result of
show moveTo
a result that you can later use in your script to achieve that same
orientation, starting from any other.
