Hi Marcelo -
Is Object 2 actually a pseudoatom? Or, if not, can it be placed separately from Object 1? If either of those are the case, it would be much easier to place the pseudoatom at a point equidistant from the two ends of Object 1 than mess with rotation matrices, etc. Here’s what I worked out.
# get a long protein, e.g. collagen
fetch 1bkv, async=0
as cartoon
# place a couple helper pseudoatoms at the "ends" of the collagen (approximately)
pseudoatom nterm, resi 2+31+61, vdw=2
pseudoatom cterm, resi 30+60+90, vdw=2
select ends, nterm or cterm
show spheres, ends
# orient the helper pseudoatoms along one of the display axes (usually ends up being x)
orient ends
# place another helper pseudoatom at the "midpoint" of the object
pseudoatom obj_b, ends, vdw=4
show spheres, obj_b
# move it (e.g.) 50Å away
translate [0,0,-50], obj_b
# make sure it looks right
orient ends or obj_b
You could then load your "real" Object 2 (if necessary) and move it to the obj_2 pseudoatom using a combination of `origin` and the COM script (http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Com), for example. Haven’t tested that, but it should be possible.
Hope that helps!
Cheers,
Jared

Hi Pymol Users,
I have 2 objects (objects 1 and 2) and I would like to re-orient object 1 so that the distance from either end of object 1 becomes the same to object 2 (see image). Is there a way to achieve this in PyMol?
I have tried using the mouse in edit mode and I have tried using the rotate/translate commands. Neither method can move object 1 without altering the position of the lower end of object 1.

Dear Thomas
Thanks very much. Great, It works well. I think it will attract more
people to switch from VMD to Pymol. Possibly, since the new version of
VASP have change the format of XDATCAR, a update of VMD plugin may be
needed.
A stupid question: When the pymol read the CHGCAR file, it will
produce a set of data like spin up+down and spin up-down. How can i
access different data in pymol?
Thanks again
Best

Hi Filip,
there is no function to query map values with 3D coordinates. There is, however, a cmd.get_volume_field() function that returns the raw map data on the grid (works with maps and volumes, PyMOL 1.7.4). With cmd.get_extend() you could put together a mapping from 3D coordinate to grid cell.

Hope that helps.

Hi Pymol Users,

Hi,
Did you try with this recipe

Dear Rajib & Yuktimmana
Molecules in PyMOL are stored as .pkl files. Those files are located inside
the
"pymol/data/chempy/fragments" folder.
I guess the only way to get a confident estimation on the feasibility of a
theoretical molecule is to perform quantum chemical computations.
Nevertheless, after building your molecule you could minimize it energy, at
least that will give you a reasonable conformation. The incentive version
of PyMOL is distributed with a built-in minimization feature, if you don’t
have the inventive version you could use the optimize
<http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Optimize> plugin.
Best Regards,
Osvaldo.

Yes, now know how to build surface.
But it appears that there is very little activity on the forum.
Anyway, thanks.

Hi all
I am trying to ray trace my icosahedram viral capsid, a 75 MB .pse file.
I am running this on a 16 GB windows 64 bit machine with 2 GB NVIDEA GEFORCE graphics.
But the memory still seems to be low as for some reason PyMOL's virtual memory is still low.
I have tried set hash_max but does not make a difference.
Does any one have any suggestions on changing the settings so PyMOL uses the full power of the machine?
Many Thanks

Dear All,
 I'm trying to develop a plugin to Pymol. Do you know about an option
to get value of a map (e.g. electron density) at a particular coordinates?
I would like to know sigma value for a particular atom. Is there any way,
using python, to achieve that?
Best regards,

Hi Wei-Bing,
support to load topology files with the vmd plugins was added in PyMOL 1.7.4 (previous versions only supported trajectories and maps).
Unfortunately, every supported filetype has to be registered in PyMOL, right now only CMS files (Desmond topology) are registered to be passed to the vmd plugin loader. You could of course modify open-source PyMOL yourself to add a filetype, but you have to edit about 5 files!
If you send me example input files (topology and trajectory) I can register their extensions and check it in to the SVN repo.
Cheers,
 Thomas

Recently, i plan to use the pymol as my main visualize tools. I have
complied the latest version successfully and the vmd plugin seems to
be complied as well at least the stage of build (i did not find these

still can not load some format geometry such as vasp POSCAR which is
included in vmd pludins. Could you tell me how to enable and use the
vmd plugin in pymol.

Dear all,
we just published the Protein-Ligand Interaction Profiler (PLIP), a web 
service and open source command line tool for characterizing and 
visualizing all relevant non-covalent interactions between proteins and 
ligands in PDB structures.
Web Service: _https://projects.biotec.tu-dresden.de/plip-web_
Code: _https://github.com/ssalentin/plip
_Publication: 
_http://nar.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2015/04/14/nar.gkv315
_
The code is written in Python and makes use of PyMOL for visualization, 
including generation of session files for further processing and 
rendering high-quality images showing the interactions.
Best

Hi!
So far we have been able to make only stick models for molecules.
We now wish to build both solid (based on electronic clouds) and Ball
& stick models.
Can we have several molecules of identical types to build crystal
structures, amorphous structures or fluide models, as the cases could
be for specific molecules?
Eager for your inputs.

Thanks, it was indeed due to the autodock plugin setting retain_order. That
would have taken me quite a while to debug on my own!

Hi,
I had problems with the retain order setting as well. The autodock vina 
pulgin turns it on. Unload the plugin to fix it, or manually set it 
after plugins are loaded.
