Alan,
We too have searched for the capability to show tow structures
simultaneously, and I would assume many others as well. Would you please
post a short description of your method?
Thanks, AlexY

One way of doing this is to flip between two 3D-drawings of the
structures
at an interval of ~1 sec. We have used this to study phase
transitions.
We do it by producing VRML files for the two structures (using
xtal-3d on
http://barns.ill.fr/dif/xtal-3d.html ) and then on an SGI computer
viewing
a simple Iris Inventor file that flips rapidly between the two 3D
drawings.
If you have an SGI machine I can tell you the details, but if you
don't
this probably won't help much :-) But a similar kind of thing
should be
possible with other software and hardware (eg using VRML-2 under
Windows).
Alan.
