Josh, The trick is that each otherwise identical structure in a PDB file must have its own segment identifier in order to avoid ambiguity. In recent version of PyMOL, there is a "segi=1" option to symexp which will automatically assign such an identifier to each copy.
load $TUT/1hpv.pdb symexp sym, 1hpv, 1hpv, 5.0, segi=1 create merged, all save merged.pdb, merged dele all load merged.pdb Cheers, Warren -- DeLano Scientific LLC Subscriber Support Services mailto:del...@delsci.info "Not yet a PyMOL Subscriber, but want to support the project?

I have a dimer in the available pdb file and want to make the full hexamer that is formed via a trimer of dimers. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
