Everything works fine for me with the latest Jmol 13.1.4 (2012-09-09 00:32). As well as extended polyhedra command. On 09/13/12 18:16, Robert Hanson wrote: Isn't the latest version 13.1.5? On Tue, Sep 11, 2012 at 7:29 PM, Pshemak Maslak p...@chem.psu.edu mailto:p...@chem.psu.edu wrote:

I use .jar file of Jmol 13.1.4_HOLD (2012-09-08 11:05) with .xyz and .cif files. I tried following commands, as well as selecting from the menu: set picking atom set picking site Distance and angle measurements also not working. NB On 09/12/12 02:09, Robert Hanson wrote: working OK for me.

It is unable to select atoms using mouse, and there is no hint with atom ID and number when cursor hangs at atom. Rotation with left click, and right click menu work. Same on both mac os and linux. 2012/9/11 Robert Hanson hans...@stolaf.edu details? On Tue, Sep 11, 2012 at 11:36 AM, Nikolay

I'm trying to make a figure showing the coordination of metal ions in crystal - they form network of tetrahedra. I can do this with bonds, but the figure looks confusing. It would be much more clear with opaque tetrahedrons. As I understand Jmol builds polyhedra around some central atoms, which

Nikolay, maybe you can add a dummy atom at the center, produce the tetrahedron and then hide the atom. Not very clean, but probably effective I cannot advise however about generating the tetrahedron around the fake atom

The polyhedron needs a central atom. But you can add that yourself. The command appears to be undocumented -- assign {attachmentAtom} Symbol {x y z} For example: assign atom {atomno=14} Cl {2 3 4} That position {2 3 4} could also be an average position of a number of atoms: assign atom

OK, here's how it works. This is probably not documented, but it is the way the state works, so it is fine to use it. All polyhedra need a reference atom, but that atom can be any atom, including one of the face atoms. It doesn't have to be a central atom. The key is the (undocumented) TO option:
