Move_atom

 

move_atom [id an atom] or [mol res atom]

The identified atom moves under the influence of the dials. You should use Yes or No to terminate the command. The Clear_flag   command accepts the coordinates, producing the same result as Yes. The coordinates are updated as the atom moves. The shape of the moving atom can be changed at will, an O descriptor in a text datablock called .moving_atom is used to draw the atom.   A related command is Patt_move, which moves the atom along the crystal axes instead of the screen axis system.
