Hi Patrick,

In VMD 1.9.3, there is a sparsely documented alternative algorithm that *does* take the order parameter. Try "measure rmsd_qcp $sel $ref order $orderlist"

Hi all,

Is anyone aware if an atom order parameter been implemented for the “measure rmsd” command, or if there is a workaround for trajectories that does not involve manually reordering atoms in the file?

Perhaps there is a way to get the RMSD directly from “measure fit”?
