My recent experience with lcaoCartoon is that the symmetry of the molecule you 
are working on dictates which cartoon orbitals can be created. No doubt Bob can 
comment on this.

To make sure nothing is wrong with my command I use "s" which always displays 
on every atom. Having done that I then try the various commands to try and 
generate the desired cartoon lcao. If the symmetry is wrong you get nothing 
displayed (and no feedback in Jmol Console).

My current problem is SF4. I can't get the lone pair to display properly. ClF3 
is OK though with two lone pairs so the principle is fine.
All the best
Nick

Jmol'ers,
I am having trouble using lcaocartoon in a very specific case. If you look
on this page, the antibonding orbitals render fine:

http://butane.chem.illinois.edu/jsmoore/Experimental/DFE.html

However, on this updated version of the same page using either JSmol or
Jmol 13.0.12, the last antibonding orbitals (C3-H6 and C2-H8) fail to
render properly.

http://www.metallacycle.com/lec/chem332/jmolpages/difluoroethane/?use=java

Those last antibonding orbitals use the "-sp3d" lobe, which appears not to
render properly no matter what I try. I even tried back here with no
success:

http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/docs/examples-12/new.htm

An sp3d lobe renders fine, but nothing happens when I try lcaocartoon
create "-sp3d". Am I missing something?

Cheers, Mike
