merging parts of models in COOT

Hi,
If I have two somewhat different overlayed models, is it possible in COOT to replace part of one model by another?
Similarly to O command: merge_atoms <from_molecule residue_start residue_end> <to_molecule residue_start> ?
That's a useful feature in O, but could not find it so far in COOT.
Thanks!

Dear Leonid,

To merge part of molecule B into molecule A you do in in steps:
- - remove the part from A that you want to replace
- - remove from B everything you do not want to merge with A
- - merge B into A (Calculate->Merge...)
- - change the newly created chain ID (Calculate->Change Chain ID...)

IIUC what you want to do, shouldn't this be a trivial operation in a
text editor?

Dear all, thanks for replies!



Indeed, text editing or other combinations of manipulations will do the trick of course, but I wanted to do it in one command, as I need to make many substitutions in a very big model as I go along.

Suggested (replace-fragment) (or also (copy-residue-range)) do the desired job.

Thanks!
