Visualization of Molecules Question

Hi there,





In Marvin, is it possible to draw a molecule in such a way as that only some atoms are visible: For example, is it possible to draw ethane like this: "-CH3"? Where the "-" represents the other methyl group.





Thanks,


Janx

Hi Janx,





You can get the look what you want the following way:





1. Draw ethane.


2. Set View/Hydrogens/Implicit to Off.


3. In the More window type CH_3 into the text box. (The underscore is important, it denotes the subscript.)


4. Click on the Alias button and on one of the C atoms





Best regards,
