Summary: dummy atoms

Initial Comment:
Hi,

I am using JMol to look at Gaussian 03 output and wanted to know 
whether in a future version JMol will also show dummy atoms. 
Since I am using z-matrix optimizations, several of the angles that 
are important to me are defined using a dummy atom.

It looks like JMol uses the standard orientation to parse for the 
multiple structures in a log file, which has the dummy atoms 
stripped. If it were to look for the "Z-Matrix orientation:" it  would 
find the cartesian coordinates of all the atoms.
The added advantage of using the Z-Matrix orientation is that it will 
also not flip my molecule around (which the standard orientation 
sometimes does).

Thanks,
Rene

I am quite sure that we will be able to add this in a future
version. 

Please attach a file of a small molecule that demonstrates
the problem. 

Post a message which explains which are the 'dummy' atoms
and how they are used.

Rene,

I will be glad to work with you on this, but I will need
your assistance ... I am not a chemist.

Q: In 25 words or less, what is a dummy atom?

Q: How should it be represented graphically in Jmol? 

I will take a look at some gaussian output and see if I can
figure out what you mean by "z-matrix orientation". 

Even better, send me an email ([EMAIL PROTECTED])  with a
gaussian 03 attachment that that contains a very small
molecule that includes a 'dummy atom'. 

Miguel
