MOV, MOVE


NAME
MOV, MOVE - define which object should be moved.

SYNOPSIS
MOV PLA
MOV STR
MOV ALL
MOVE PLANE
MOVE STRUCTURE
MOVE ALL

DESCRIPTION
This command defines which object should be moved when rotation and translation controls or commands are used. When a PDB file is read, a new structure is stored into program memory. A single plane is associated with each structure. By default, this plane is unvisible and movement controls are affecting both the structure and the associated plane. The command PLANE may be used to make the plane visible. In that case, it will be represented by an ellipse. One side of this ellipse will be colored blue and other side will be colored orange-red.

The command MOVE affects only the structure which is currently being handled (the structure which is "caught").
