One polyhedron, two polyhedra, what's a polyhedrae when it's at home?
Oh dear, I hope you are not going to start another cognoscenti debate Bob. I
don't use polyhedron in crystallography because by definition a crystal
lattice does not contain a single polyhedron, but
Jmol has been developed from Chime, Rasmol etc for organic chemistry, but
has recently been extended to draw polyhedrae, which is essential for
understanding co-ordination for inorganic structures. Both the ICSD and
AMC inorganic/mineralogical databases are experimenting with Jmol for
CIF, and

I downloaded the program JMOL version 10.3.1 but I didn't get any
possibilility to draw a crystal starting from a cif file (the item make
crystal is not active) . Where am I wrong?
