CrystalMaker is the most-efficient way to visualize crystal and molecular structures.
CrystalMaker X lets you import structural data from 40 different formats: with instant display and powerful customization. Its interactive design lets you "see the wood for the trees" and build your own visual understanding of complex materials. CrystalMaker transcends traditional crystallography software, letting you create dynamical visualizations with rotatable animations. Energy-modelling tools let you design and relax new structures, predict their vibrational properties, and explore how they interface with other materials.
v9.2 [Jun 24, 2015]
Projected Bond Distances. The Bond Distance tool now prints the projected distance (in the plane of the screen) in the Log. This complements the displayed distance (in three-dimensions of the plot) which is also printed in the Log. This feature should be useful to electron microscopists, who have to work with structure projections in two dimensions.
Load Site Label "Properties". The CrystalMaker Text format (CMTX) now allows you to load floating-point "properties" for each crystal site or atom. Instead of entering a site label as a character string (e.g., "T1"), you can enter a floating-point number (e.g., "0.1234"). This then allows you to display this value as an atom label.
Note: You should use a floating-point number, not an integer - otherwise the file might be interpreted as a STRUPLO-format file and your "properties" will be ignored.
Miscellaneous Changes. This version includes a minor enhancement to the Relax Molecule command and a fix for reading certain CIF files.
The Relax Molecule and Add Hydrogens commands are now enabled for the Demonstration version.
Improved the Relax Molecule command, with more sophisticated four-body potentials.
An extremely-rare issue with reading CIF files which contain nested single quotes on the last line of the file, has been resolved.
