Save Scene Position

  saves current scene basis

Load Scene Position

  loads previously saved scene basis

Exit

Undo

  undoes the last operation

Redo

  repeats undone operation

Copy Image

  copies current screen to the clipboard

Delete (Del)

View Menu

Put to Plane

  displays the structure in the mean plane of the selected atoms

View along

  sets current view along two selected atoms

View Planes

   

Labels

Hide hides all labels of all visible atoms

 

Show shows labels of all visible atoms

 

Fe(1) Type changes the label style

 

Fe1 Type

 

Hide Unbound Labels hides labels of invisible atoms

Cell

  shows crystallographic unit cell

Axis

  shows current basis Lines colour corresponds as RGB to XYZ

Perspective...

  calculates perspective view. NOTE: selection operations DO NOT work in this mode!

Analysis Menu

Add Centroid

  adds centroid for selected atoms

Add Plane

  adds a plane which goes through selected atoms

Topological Analysis...

   

Find Short Interactions...

   

View Basis

   

Network Menu

Show

  shows topological network (one should be generated)

Hide

  hides topological network

Extend Network

  tries to extend existing network, the function work properly with non-interpenetrating 3D nets only

Expand Nodes

  expands selected network nodes (shows bonds and attached atoms)

Collapse Nodes

  collapses selected network node (hides bonds and attached atoms)
Evaluate Topology   Evaluates vertex symbols for all nodes represented in the topological network and places the result into the Windows Clipboard. Use this command if there are many nodes present in the topological net, but be sure the net is large enough to find all possible rings around the most "central" atoms.
Export   Exports the network into MOL file. Note that all 'Q' peaks present in the network has to be changed to a proper element type. Similar restriction <1000 bonds and atoms are applied (MOL file restrictions).

Fragments Menu

Generate

   

Uniq

  transforms generated structure to asymmetric unit

Hide

  hides selected fragment(s)

Hide Bonds

  hides bonds of selected fragment(s)

Select

  selects all elements belonging to fragments of current selection

Properties…

   

Expand Node(s)

  shows atom(s) environment. V. 2.53 - a shortcut added (Ctrl+E) and the operation functions more predictable - the expanded environment is automatically selected on expansion

Collapse Node(s)

  hides atom(s) environment

Bond Menu

Hide

  hides selected bonds

Properties

  shows list of selected bonds

Short Interactions

  shows list of short interactions

Network Bonds

  shows list of network bonds

Atom Menu

Hide

  hides selected atoms

Hide Unbound

  hides atoms without surrounding bonds
