Build Crystals & Molecules Fast!
With CrystalMaker you can build any kind of crystal or molecular
structure - quickly and easily.
Built-in symmetry handling and the elegant spacegroup browser takes the slog
out of crystallography, and the program will automatically generate all
your bonds and polyhedra.
CrystalMaker provides a wide range of model types,
including thermal ellipsoids. Each model type can be extensively
customized, with the option of photo-realistic
simpler, line-art display.
Comprehensive Data Import & Export.
Load structural data from over 15+ formats, including Cambridge Structures
Database, Protein Data Bank, CIF, GSAS, SHELX... Export structural
data, bond distances, coordinates & angles.
CrystalMaker can handle truly massive structures, such as this
500,000-atom computer simulation.
Outstanding Graphics.
Enjoy photo-realistic graphics with depth fading and perspective -
plus spectacular 3D stereo. Benefit from high-resolution printing
and save your graphics at user-defined sizes to a wide range of formats.
Real-time Rotation.
Click-and-drag with the mouse, use the keyboard, or toolbar. View
parallel to a lattice vector or plane normal. Continuous plot range
settings for millions of atoms, bonds and polyhedra.
Crystal Libraries
CrystalMaker is shipped with over 600 structures,
fully-annotated, ready for immediate display:
from organic molecules to
zeolites; and from dental ceramics to high-Tc
superconductors.
Interactive Measurement.
Preview coordination environments, clusters and shells; list bond
distances and histograms on screen or save to disc. Measure bond
distances, angles, torsion angles on screen. Calculate angles
between planes and/or vectors.
Manipulation Tools.
Move, detach, duplicate, hide, delete groups of atoms. Hide or
repair molecular fragments - isolate individual molecules.
Display lattice planes in any orientation; slice the crystal to
investigate surfaces or internal planes - and place one structure or
molecule inside another.
Multiple Undo.
CrystalMaker gives you multiple undo levels for each window - each
with its own graphical thumbnail, displayed in "History" pane of
the Overview window. You can also bookmark custom Views and
organize your favourite files.
CrystalMaker is
shipped in a deluxe program pack with colour-printed
setup guide, 3D stereo glasses and a value-packed
CD-ROM.
First-Class Support.
Using CrystalMaker is easy - but we still provide a a
lavishly-illustrated setup guide, a detailed User's Guide in PDF
format, for easy searching and of course a cross-referenced online
help system.
Last, but not least, we're proud of our first-class technical
support, which includes regular incremental software updates, as
well as a prompt and personalized response to queries.
