numbering carbon atoms only

I have been trying to draw lipids and number the hydrocarbon chains. I would very much prefer to number only the carbon atoms in the lipid. If I enable 'atom numbers', all atoms are numbered. How do I number specific type of atoms alone?

Hi,


If you need it for demonstrating pourposes, then you can use atom mapping that will show the number beside the atom label. You can add mapping information by typeing for example 'm12' with the mouse pointing to the atom that should display 12 as the number.


Otherwise you can use attached data, which is available by right clicking on the atom and selecting Add>Atom in the popup menu.


I hope this helps.
