Felix, It's currently not easy, but I could modify the symexp command (or create another) to take fractional parameters. I'll put that on the list of things to do. Thanks, -- Jason On Fri, Mar 12, 2010 at 2:58 AM, Felix Frolow wrote: > Jason > Another request related to symmetry. > It will be

Harry, Here's how I would do it. Load the original object. Create a duplicate of it. Next, create your symmetry mates. Align the duplicate to the symmetry mate of choice. Create a blank movie (eg. mset 1x120, or Movie > Append > 4 Seconds). Now, store the original object's position at frame

BS"D Dear All, I would like to create a movie (for a course) showing how a molecule undergoes crystallographic symmetry operations. So, for example, if looking at a 2-fold screw axis, the movie would show either: 1. The molecule rotating about the 2-fold, then translating 1/2 a unit c
