Editing Atom Colours

Atoms can be coloured according to their crystallographic site, or by chemical element, using the Site Browser.

You can also change the colour of a selected atom or group of selected atoms using the Selection > Atoms > Colour command.

If you are editing a molecule, you can change the site type for any selected atoms. This makes it possible to change atom colours, element symbols and radii - all in one step. Choose the Selection > Atoms > Change Atom Type command.

To modify default atom colours and radii, use the Edit > Elements command to display the Elements Editor window.
