Category: None Group: v10 Status: Open Priority: 5 Submitted By: Timothy Driscoll (molvisions) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: rods or struts Initial Comment: I would like to be able to select two atoms and connect them with a solid rod. this is indepedent of whether or not the atoms are bonded or within any defined distance of each other. why? I am building a Jmol-based interface to design physical models. many physical models require 'struts' for structural support. up until now, we have used moniter lines as struts, in a special build of RasMol which can render monitors at any thickness (not just dotted). Miguel, is this complicated? maybe I try it myself with a little direction? thanks, tim driscoll ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Michael T Howard (michaelthoward) Date: 2004-02-26 18:06 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=608250 Unless there is good reason to do otherwise, the easiest way to do this is by adding this as a bond. Once the bond is defined, Jmol will draw it regardless of how long it is. What do you think about this? ... extend the 'connect' command to take two atom numbers ... the same numbers that we would use for monitor You can then make an explicit bond between these atoms. Once it is added, it acts like every other bond. The other approach would be to define a new object ... a rod. It would run from one arbitrary 3D coordinate to another. It would be more flexible, but would be a *lot* more work. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=379136&aid=905197&group_id=23629 ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
