Jmol measurements
-
Distance (2 atoms):
-
double-click on the starting atom
-
to fix a distance measurement, double-click on second atom
-
-
Angle (3 atoms):
-
double-click on the starting atom
-
click on the second atom (central atom in angle)
-
to fix an angle measurement, double-click on third atom
-
-
Torsion angle or dihedral (4 atoms)
-
double-click on the starting atom
-
click on the second atom
-
click on the third atom
-
to fix a dihedral angle measurement, double-click on fourth atom
-
-
In all cases:
-
move pointer over destination atom in order to see measurement results without leaving a permanent measurement
-
move outside the window in order to cancel the measurement
-
make the same measurement again in order to delete the measurement
