[PyMOL] exact molecule duplication keeping its spacial orientation

[Michael W. <we...@st...>]

Hello,
is there a possibility in PyMOL to duplicate a molecule that is present =
in the currently loaded PyMOL session file such that is exactly placed =
on its "parent"? I have to color the same residue in two or more colors.
I ask this because reloading the same molecule requires subsequent =
alignment and - strangely - these alignments are often not performed =
properly (my files contain many other molecules as well) although the =
same molecule is already present.

Thanks for your help,
Michael.

I think that the create command will do this

create newM, select statement

if I have a molecule named mol1 with three chains and I  want to make
a copy of chain c I would use

create new_C, mol1 & c. C
