There isn't a single button to do it, this is what I would do:
Make a molecule of my favourite 6aa helix, centre the blob(?) in which
you wish to put it at the centre, Move molecule here. Jiggle Fit (as
needed), mutate residue range, [1], Extensions-> Modelling -> Copy
Molecule, Other Modelling Tools-> Reverse Fragment, Ca Zone ->
Main-chain, R/RC [Add Alpha helix restraints], mutate residue range.
Refine (or Regularize as needed)
(Using modern Coots)
[1] Scripting -> Python -> set_occupancy_residue_range(1, "A", 1,6, 0.5)
# or some such
Paul.
