In doing some model building I want to move a domain of a protein

have cross linking data).
I dimly remember being able to do with this O,at least a decade ago
(probably more), but it doesn't seem to work in current versions (I
have even dimmer recollections that this might have been a special
feature of a particular graphics card in an SGI)
In any event, does anyone know of anything that might allow us to do
this? { I am not asking about computational ways of exploring alternate
packing of the domain to satisfy distances ( I know about these) -
rather we want to get a feel for what is possible by "seeing" it for
ourselves).
DIstance monitors in Chimera (
www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera) automatically update as structures are moved. Possibly also of interest, Chimera can monitor steric clashes/contacts as structures are moved:
