Re: [phenixbb] crystal packing pattern

I believe Coot does something smarter where it only draws molecules in range (Draw menu->Cell and Symmetry, then click "Symmetry by molecule"). This is probably better for interactive visualization - the only drawback is that you can't easily save the symmetry copies to a file, or make pretty pictures.

With Coot you can save the symmetry copies to a file using File->Save Symmetry Coordinates and clicking on the relevant symmetry-related instance. Phil Jeffrey Princeton
