Hi Eric,
 Thanks for your response. I checked vecdist, but it doesn't seem to be able to label the distance in the structure model. Is it? I am going to prepare a figure for our manualscript. So the distance should be labeled onto the figures, not only calculate the distance between two atoms. Then how should I do it?

Many thanks.

You can make the regular atom selection (atomselect), calculate their geometric center of mass (google or search VMD-L for script examples), and then use a vector math tool (such as vecdist) to calculate the actual distance between those two points.
