- Outline view - Loops are displayed as circles; helices are displayed as lines.
Use the View>Outline view command on the menu bar to enable this mode.
- Moving a structure - Use drag-and-drop to move a structure around.
- Rotating a structure - Hold down the Ctrl key and move the mouse cursor up to rotate a structure clockwise or down
to rotate a structure counterclockwise.
- Zooming a structure - Hold down the Shift key and move the mouse cursor up to zoom in or down to zoom out.
