Ok, thanks for the info, Angel :o)

Bob, clarification please?

I've just found an intriguing paper indeed, "Fast calculation of van
der Waals volume as a sum of atomic bond contributions and its
application to drug compounds" by Zhao, Abraham and Zissimos (J. Org.
Chem. 2003, 68, 7368-7373). They describe a method of calculating the
vdW volume using utterly trivial maths - so simple they actually test
it in an Excel spreadsheet! Incredibly it seems to work to a high
accuracy; examples they provide show deviation from the MacroModel
calc'd value (the long but accurate calculation method) of at most ~19
Angstroms. Very happy they've discovered this!
