getting the 3d view of a molecule in the MSketchPane

I'm trying to get the 3D view of a molecule which is drawn in the MSketchPane.  I used 

MolPrinter printer = new MolPrinter(molecule);

printer.setRendering(DispOptConsts.BALLSTICK_RENDERING_S);

I have attached the structure I'm getting below.

But seems lik its not actually the 3D structure I'm getting. please guide me to get the 3D structure of a molecule.

MSketchPane is a very nice tool to make 3D models. i use AudoCad also for that.

Hello,

You'll have to calculate 3d coordianates before printing it out. You'll either have to clean the molecule in 3d, or use molconverter to convert the molecule to some picture format, and it will do it for you if you set the -3 switch.

Here are the documentations for both of them : 

Cleaner doc, api

MolConverter doc, api

 

Hope this helps,

thanks that solved my problem.
