Re: [Chimera-users] exporting a mineral structure as VRML

Hi Janet, Those purple dotted lines indicate metal coordination and are not covalent bonds. Apparently the dotted lines don't go into the VRML. You can change them to cylinders by selecting them and using the selection inspector. First ctrl-click on one dotted line. Then press the up-arrow key a few times to select all dotted lines. Then press the selection inspector button in the bottom right corner of the window that says "256 pbonds" (means pseudo-bonds). In the dialog that appears change "bond style" to "stick" and you might also change the radius (maybe from 0.2 to 0.05) so the look different then the real covalent bonds. The stick display of the pseudo-bonds does appear in the VRML. Tom
