Re: [Jmol-users] How to write one frame as a .mol file?

[Robert H. <ha...@st...>]

If you have separate frames, which I think you do, just make sure you use

select 1.1
write "1.1.mol"

or something similar to that to select only the one frame.

If you have the frame as the current frame, you can use:

select this

or (as long as all the atoms are visible)

select visible

it is better to take what answer we get.

the ongoing injustices that we have committed against the Dakota Nation,
and we wish to interrupt this legacy, beginning with acts of healing and
honest storytelling about this place.*
