Great.
In this way VMD shows the atoms that have this coordinate constraint in that
"specific frame". But These atoms move during time and VMD keeps applying
the constraint to "those atoms" not the specific region. I like to look at
the interface of atoms and their substrate which is stationary. So Is it
possible to apply a constraint to a region rather than the atoms? So when I
play the render I can just see the interface.
tnks alot
