Roger,

Sorry Roger, this isn't possible at present, but it will be in the
future...

Cheers,
Warren

Subject: [PyMOL] (Simple) unit cell construction

Is there a relatively simply way to get pymol to populate a unit cell
with exactly the correct number of copies of the asymmetric unit, i.e.,
similar to the Uppsala software factory utility XPAND or the "Build
Crystallographic Symmetry" command in SPDBV? Ideally, it would be
helpful to perform the symmetry operations on the ASU, and then have the
ability to translate errant symmetry copies by +/- a,b, or c to get an
intelligent packing of the unit cell box.

The "symexp" command is contact-distance controlled, and is better for
inspecting crystal packing than for creating nice "fluff" images of unit
cells.


Cheers,
