Will, The easiest approach, short of Python programming, is to temporarily load a new pdb file with updated coordinates and simply update the existing object before deleting the original.
load original.pdb unset auto_zoom # then repeat the following as often as necessary set suspend_updates load updated.pdb update original,updated delete updated unset suspend_updates Cheers, Warren -- DeLano Scientific LLC Subscriber Support Services mailto:del...@delsci.info I'm interested prototyping some interactive molecular modeling and simulation code using pymol. I know one can change the atomic coordinates wholesale in simple ways via alter_state (like x=x+1). Is there an efficient way to change all coordinates to arbitrary values (like coordinates output from a simulation)? I could select each atom and alter_state it's xyz values, but I'm hoping there is a better way. Thanks! -Will Sheffler Baker Lab University of Washington
