That's ridiculous.
Sorry, but to try to go retro on this is just too strange. Stay with 3D.
Enjoy the modern world of color (or grey scales) and interactivity. The Jmol
documentation gives plenty of help with getting the anisotropic ellipsoids
rendered various ways. We have the cutouts and lines if desired. Jmol's
images will match ORTEP's exactly but look WAY better. If desired, bonds can
be made thin, black, and lifeless.
