Wow, Otis. You are doing some very interesting things here! OK, I will look into it. Sounds like the minimization routine isn't using the correct atom locations. On Thu, Feb 11, 2010 at 7:36 PM, Otis Rothenberger o...@chemagic.comwrote: Hello- I'm using the following JavaScript to replace

Well, Otis, I'm guessing you will have a full-fledged Jmol-based molecular editor for us soon. Is that right? This is fixed for Jmol 11.9.29. See http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/docs/examples-11/Jmol-11.zip Bob [PS: I'm not sure I would do the center selected there -- doesn't that result in an

valency accounts for bond order. So just about every carbon will be tetravalent, regardless of is position in a molecule -- acetylene, ethene, ethane all have {_C}.valence = 4. But if there are only three single bonds to a carbon, its valence will be reported as 3. By the way, Otis -- you will

Bob and Angel- Thanks for the help and the words of encouragement. My objective is to create the Jmol equivalent of an old Prentice Hall Model Kit, and a molecular builder (editor, I guess) is part of this objective. At present, I only know how to build molecules in Jmol using univalent atoms as

Bob and Angel- This is all coming together very nicely. I did not know about the delete atom command. Using delete hydrogen; minimize addHydrogens after each atom replacement allows a wide range of editing moves, including extending the click/change to non-univalent atoms. The changes that you
