Hi,

My experience with the Jmol 10 beta Applet is that
"spacefill" does not correctly render atom spheres
with a radius equal or greater than 2.00 �ngstrom (500
RasMol units).

A number of 'atomic' radii are larger than this limit.
e.g:
van der Waals' R for I (in I2) is 2.15 �
Metallic R for K, Rb, and Cs are respectively 2.31,
2.43 and 2.64 �

All the RasMol documentation (2.5, 2.6 and 2.7
Manuals) I have examined also state the 2.00 �/500
limit - which is presumably why Jmol has inherited it.


However, experimenting wih recent RasMol and Chime
versions indicate these support spacefill up to (and
including) 3.00 �/750. This seems to be a reasonable
limit.

It would be good (for me at least) if Jmol also
supported spacefill up to 3.00/750, and presumably not
too tricky to implement ;-)

Regards

Geoff Rowland
