Justin, the latest version of Jmol up now (10.9.82 or 10.9.83) should do what you want.
Three thoughts: 1) If you have a Windows PC, for your PowerPoint presenation consider using LiveWeb. (http://skp.mvps.org/liveweb.htm) 2) Take a look at some of the demos at http://icsd.ill.fr/icsd/index.html They have a very nice installation of Jmol; you might get an idea or two looking at those pages. 3) I recommend the following: load myfile.cif {444 666 1};display cell=555;zoom 300 What this does is display a complete unit cell for which all the atoms have all the correct number of neighbors in all directions. So then you could add, for example, polyhedra 2.5 (displayed and _Na) to draw polyhedra at selected atoms. These commands are explained further at http://www.stolaf.edu/academics/chemapps/jmol/docs Bob Hanson > > I am very new to jmol but it is an excellent tool.
