Hi Roger, Unfortunately, there is no CGO ellipsoid. What you might try is represent the units in the lattice as arrows as to indicate their orientation (determined as the principal or principle ;) axis), and have one unit in (cartoon) detail, with a more slender arrow inside. I think it

Hi Roger, the easiest solution is probably to create a fake pdb file with dummy atoms (located roughly in the center of mass) to represent each molecule in your ASU. make sure the pdb file contains the same CRYST entry as your original file. you can load it into pymol and then scale up the

Hi, I am trying to prepare a figure illustrating a fairly complex packing arrangement in a large H32 (R32) unit cell, where the packing may actually have some biological relevance. To try and show the packing I've been generating symmetry related molecules using the symexp command. The
