If you wish to hide all atoms of a particular kind (e.g., all hydrogen atoms in an organic structure), simply locate the relevant element row in the Atom Info window (this is the row with a disclosure triangle and an element symbol), then uncheck the "Vis" checkbox. All sites with that element symbol will now be hidden. You can also use the Atom Info window to hide all atoms that reside on a particular crystallographic site (e.g., the "T1" site in a feldspar mineral): this time, locate the relevant site row (you may need to open up some element rows to find the site row) and uncheck the site's "vis" checkbox. Did you know? Use the Info window's Options menu to quickly expand or contract the element groups on display. You can also sort by element symbol, visibility, atomic radius, coordination - and even colour! © 2008 CrystalMaker Software Limited. All rights reserved worldwide.
