Arie, I've checked in code for Jmol 12.0.RC26 that: 1) creates .idtf.tex along with .idtf 2) gets the orientation correct 3) gets the scale correct 4) rotates the model around the correct center The result is that if you have not rotated the model, or if the model center is also the

OK. Just for reference, here are the issues: -- In Jmol the center of window (mouse) rotation is not necessarily the point {0 0 0} nor is it necessarily the center of the model. -- In Jmol the center of rotation may not be positioned directly in front of the user, at the window center. It may be
