David, you are in luck. What you want is an lcaocartoon http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/docs?command=lcaocartoon
For something like H2O you SHOULD be able to use select (atomno=...) lcaocartoon create "sp3a" lcaocartoon create "sp3b" but there is a bug there, and all you can do is sp2 and pz. I'll look into fixing that. In the mean time, check out http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/docs/examples-11/lcao.htm Bob David Kim wrote: > Idealy I would want them to be a tear-shaped lobe with two dots > within.
