Hi Daniel There are a few commands in Jmol that allow moving a part of the loaded model(s), by first selecting them However, note that moving a molecule in 3D manually to gain some position with respect to another is far from easy or intuitive. All is 3D, while you mouse moves in a 2D space.
There is no big difference between having them in a single file or several. Bear in mind that when you load several (pdb) files, they come with different axes and so the molecules may overlap or be widely apart. Check these in the Scripting Doc, http://www.stolaf.edu/academics/chemapps/jmol/docs/ rotateSelected rotate selected translateSelected set picking dragLigand There is also some option which allows a kinf of simplified docking as far as I understand.
