Welcome, Stephen, First thing to know is that if you don't know how to do anything at all
1) search for it in http://www.stolaf.edu/academics/chemapps/jmol/docs 2) ask this list NOT necessarily in that order! (It's a very friendly list, and the documentation can be overwhelming.) In this case, we could write a whole chapter on crystallographic uses of Jmol. Personally, I learn best from example. So if you are like me on that, take a look at: http://fusion.stolaf.edu/chemistry/jmol/xtalx and a little-known "secret" but wonderful for learning what's going on behind the scenes: http://fusion.stolaf.edu/chemistry/jmol/xtalx?NOAPPLET You can add that ?NOAPPLET extension to just about any URL that displays a Jmol applet, and then click the buttons to your heart's content, and see all the scripts the page developer has used. [Angel, is this highlighted in the Jmol.js online documentation?] On that particular page, you can click the radio buttons in the bottom left to see how to do anything that page does. There are also some nice examples I just now gathered at the following link that might interest you: http://www.stolaf.edu/academics/chemapps/jmol/docs/examples/xtal.htm Enjoy!
