This would be fantastic!! N.B. There is a commercial energy minimization application named "Sculpt", originally developed by Mark Surles when he worked with David & Jane Richardson at Duke. Subsequently he had his own company, then it was acquired by MDL (makers of Chime) and a teaser demo was integrated into Chime. It was then called "MDL Sculpt". MDL seems to have become Symyx and I can no longer find Sculpt on their website. But see
http://accelrys.org/pipelinepilot/descriptions/sculptviewer.html So you may or may not want to pick a different name. Mark, if you get this, please let us know the status of Sculpt. -Eric At 5/19/10, Robert Hanson wrote: >Jmol users: > >Idea: Capability to turn on a "molecular model kit" feature that >would allow quick construction (modification or extension) of >molecular models within Jmol. > >Questions: > >Q: Is that a good idea or not?
