For starters, you can load your CMMF or CMDF file into the application, either by browsing for it through your system and adding it manually or by drag and dropping it over the main window.
From the ‘Model’ menu, you can switch between view modes in order to find the one that best fits your needs, for instance ‘Ball & Stick’, ‘Space Filling’, ‘Polyhedral’, ‘Wire Frame’ or ‘Stick’. The mouse wheel enables you to rotate the structure of the molecule, while from the right-side panel, you can modify the colors of its various elements, for emphasis or in order to distinguish them better from the others.
The ‘Auto-Rotate’ function will show the molecular structure in a constant spinning motion, and the ‘Zoom Out’, ‘Zoom In’ and ‘Magnify’ tools allows you to analyze the image more closely. The ‘Ruler’ and ‘Grid’ help you obtain precise measurement indications about the structure.
A handy CMDF file opener
Overall, CrystalViewer proves to be a useful and reliable program that you can resort to when you need to visualize documents designed in CrystalMaker, without the cost that it entails.
