Hello,

I want to display a NaCl crystal. So I loaded a pdb file that contains lines 
like this :

HETATM    1 Na1          1      -2.820  -2.820  -2.820  1.00  0.00          NA1+
... ...
HETATM   33 Cl1          1       0.000  -2.820  -2.820  1.00  0.00          CL1-

I expected to see the Na ions having about half the size of the Cl ions, but 
Jmol 
produced output where Na ions were greater than the Cl ions. They seemed to be 
Na 
and Cl atoms rather than ions. So I tried to give them the proper charge in the 
load 
script

load nacl.pdb;
select atomno<33; formalCharge=1;
select atomno>32; formalCharge=-1;

but nothing changed. Then I loaded some cif files, and I looked at the example 
page 
"fractional coordinates", and always saw atom-sized balls rather than ion-sized.

My question : How can I produce Jmol output where the ions have ionic radii, 
not 
atomic radii ?

I work with Jmol 11.2.14 and Windows XP.

Thanks for any help.
Michael
