The position of dummy atoms will be constructed from the positions of (at least two) real atoms. So, no, you cannot change all atoms in your molecule into dummies. Also, you need to specify a dummy construction type for each dummy atom. If your molecule is not too large, you can probably create some rough coordinates manually, and make it good using energy minimzation. -- Groetjes, Anton * NOTE: New Affiliation, Phone & Fax numbers (below) * _____________ _______________________________________________________ | | | | _ _ ___,| K.
