# MOV, MOVE

NAME
MOV, MOVE - define which object should be moved.
SYNOPSIS
MOV STR
MOV MEM
MOV PLA
MOV ALL
MOVE STRUCTURE
MOVE MEMBRANE
MOVE PLANE
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 (initially invisible) is associated with each structure. On request (after the first execution of the command MEMBRANE), a single membrane may also be added to the structure. By default, the movement controls are affecting both the atomic structure and the associated objects (the plane and the membrane, if initialized). The command MOV (MOVE) may be used to change the action of the movement controls, to move only the choosen object.
The command MOVE affects only the molecule which is currently being handled (the structure which is "caught").
KEYWORDS

KEYWORD (SHORT) | KEYWORD (LONG) | DESCRIPTION
STR | STRUCTURE | Move only the structure (atoms), leaving the plane and the membrane at the current position.
MEM | MEMBRANE | Move only the membrane, leaving the structure (atoms) and the plane at the current position.
PLA | PLANE | Move only the plane, leaving the structure (atoms) and the membrane at the current position.
ALL | ALL | Move all (atoms + plane + membrane).

EXAMPLES

COMMAND | DESCRIPTION
mov pla | Move the plane leaving the structure and the membrane at the current position.
mov all | Move structure, plane and membrane. This is default action.

NOTES
(1) The plane and the membrane are affected by rotation and translation controls and commands. Slab and color fading do not affect these objects.
(2) Never use two keywords with the command MOVE! If you want to move the plane and the membrane, for example, you should move it one by one!
RELATED COMMANDS
PLA (PLANE) is used to manipulate the plane associated with the molecular structure. MEM (MEMBRANE) is used to generate and manipulate the membrane. CATCH is used to catch the specified structure.
