Selection for variable position

I'm using the Marvin plugin demo version and I'm trying to figure out how to select atoms so that I can make a variable attachment. It's the second line in the instructions below that I don't understand. Is there a selection tool?





The instructions say:





To draw a position variation


Draw the structure that will include the position variation.


Select the alternative connecetion point atoms.


Choose "Structure/Add/Multi-center" from the main menu or "Add/Multi-center" from the contextual menu. A multi-center represented by a "*" will be added. If you move the cursor to the multi-center the represented atoms are highlighted (blue circle around the atom labels).


Draw a bond from the center and edit the bond if required. The represented atoms are displayed with grey shadow after this step. The "*" representing the multi-center disappears after bond drawing.


Repeat step 2-4 to draw further variable points if required.

Hello,





You can find the rectange/lasso/structure selection button on the general toolbar. Clicking on this button will activate the selection mode then you can select by clicking or dragging on the drawing area.





More information about how the selection works:
