Rotate Structure Fragment
Previous  Top  Next

Dialog Box - called from: Revise Structure Fragment dialog

This allows much the same operations as for the overall rotations in the Rotation menu, except of course that only the atoms in the current fragment are rotated, about its own center. The Cartesian Axes, Structure Vector and Align Face/Vector options call up dialogs which are called up from the Rotation menu, but in this case only the current fragment is affected. The Structure Vector and Align Face/Vector options use the structure axes belonging to the current fragment. For orienting fragments, especially crystal structures, the Align Face/Vector option is most useful.

If you click on the Set Default button, the current orientation of this fragment will be the one which is returned to with the Remove Previous Rotations button.
