Its been a while since I've monitored this list, so forgive me if this is a question that has been asked and answered in the past.
I'm working on a project related to some lower-grade math and science and I would like to use Jmol to display a variety of 3D solids (the five platonic ones, perhaps plus some other irregular ones). I can use ChemDraw to make a "cube" and "tetrahedron" of carbon atoms, save as a mol file, bring into Chem3D, delete the hydrogens, and "minimize"--producing a passable mol or pdb file for a cube and a tetrahedron. I can probably spend some time trying to figure out the coordinate values to make the bonds longer, and I understand I can use Jmol.js commands to work on how to display these structures (still trying to learn that). Before trying to do this with more complex shapes, though, does anyone know of a repository of such geometric files that have already been created? (I've spent a couple of hours with Google with out success). Or, does anyone have a suggestion of how to do this more easily (and elegantly)? Thanks.
