Hi Karl,
I use the Mac version of Spartan 04 to export collections of files as multiple-xyz files. The option is semi-hidden. You have to hold down option(Alt) while selecting Export to get the xyz(Jmol) option and I don't know if the Windows version has this option (I requested it for Mac OS).

Another Mac application MacMolPlt http://www.scl.ameslab.gov/~brett/ MacMolPlt/ is also capable of exporting xyz files suitable for Jmol. I use gamess to generate the input in this case but I expect MacMolPlt can read other formats.

All the best
Nick

Dear All,

I've been asked to make some animation sequences for a science museum
exhibit.

But am a bit stuck on how I can generate suitable .xyz or multi-
model .pdb files.

I had hoped to use Cambridgesoft Chem 3D to construct the animation
sequence. Which I can do happily.

But cannot get a suitable the Jmol will read to display as an animation.

Chem 3D will only save in three format which support mulitiple
frames, "Cart Coord 1", "Cart Coord 2", "MOPAC .mop"

I can provide samples of these file formats (if any one is interested).

What do others use to generate their animation sequences ? Is MDL
Sculpt the only option.

Looking forward to any help.

Regards, Karl
