copy and paste molecule fragment #34

Open timpaula opened 5 years ago

timpaula commented 5 years ago

I want to copy the molecule (or a piece of that) and paste, so I can build a polymer structure with three or four monomers.

Steps:

  1. run the application
  2. build a monomer molecule
  3. select the monomer (or a piece of that)
  4. copy the selection and paste afterwards

actual result: I can not move the pasted monomer, it sits precisely on the original one. expected result: the selected item should be placed somewhere near the original one on empty space.

Select the atoms that you wish to copy, paste them, and then translate the pasted and highlighted atoms. For example, on Mac, the translation can be done by holding Cmd + Right-Click Drag
