Structures
For colored and black &
white displays:
- To rotate structure,
place the cursor over the picture, click and hold down the mouse
button, and start to move the mouse. If a menu appears, you held
the mouse button down too long before moving the mouse (Windows -
left mouse button).
- To resize structure,
hold down the shift key and follow instructions above.
- To translate structure,
hold down control and option keys (Windows - control key and right
mouse button) and follow instructions above.
- If you have a structure displayed as a
wire frame and you wish to convert it to a ball and stick model,
the transformation may not occur cleanly. Using the menu, remove
the hydrogens from the structure by unchecking "Display Hydrogens"
in Options. Then select "Ball & Stick" in the Display menu.
Go back and check "Display Hydrogens". You should be
there.
