Re: VMD/NAMD two identical molecules solvate in a water sphere

You can always physically move one molecule by making an atomselection
and then translating the selection along the various axes (i.e.
"translate x by A angstroms").

Also, may I ask why you are solvating in a water sphere? With current
computational capacity, a water box is recommended for optimal
arrangement of periodic boundary conditions.
