Crystal Studio Version
7.0 was released on January 7, 2005. New Features for Crystal
Studio Version 7.0 are:
 |
Implemented unlimited steps of Undo and Redo for editing processes.
|
|
Add different styles for objects including atoms, bonds, polyhedra and planes.
|
|
Select colors, styles and materials properties by atom types, by symmetrically equivalent classes of objects or by selected groups.
|
|
Look at the real-time rendering result effects while you change the materials properties.
|
|
Selectible color, style and materials properties down to individual objects, i.e. atoms, bonds, polyhedra and planes.
|
|
Video clip recording, record animations or your work steps into AVI (Audio Video Interleaved) files and play them in Microsoft Power Point documents.
Download an example file via this link and play it.
This AVI example demonstrates selective build and Undo/Redo steps.
(Available for Professional and Enterprise editions only.)
|
|
Save POV-Ray(TM)(a shareware) scene files or directly render into image files with real materials textures.
Example. (Available for Professional and Enterprise editions only.)
|
|
Selective Build, select certain atoms, symmetry operators and/or bravais translations to build the crystal selectively as a skeleton structure such as molecule cages etc..
|
|
Fill Coordination Sphere, use this command for step by step building or for filling the coordination of certain atom types so that coordination polyhedra for the atom type can be build for all the atoms of that atom type.
|
|
Different rendering model type can now be applied to selected group of objects. It is now easy to build a crystal with mixed model styles.
|
|
Arbitrary selection by drawing arbitrary enclosing curves and invert selections.
|
|
Enhanced powder patterns with peak index, structure factor and intensity listed and peak patterns convoluted with profiles.
The powder patterns now include normal and synchrotron XRD patterns and electron diffraction patterns for polycrystalline samples.
|
|
Build crystal slabs by specifying a surface and a cell range including negative cell ranges.
|
|
Add atoms to the top of surface or add a surface layer of atoms.
|
|
Preference settings for most parameters to define your default working environment.
|
|
Updated atom radius data and Add command for users to add or modify atom radius data in the database.
|
|
Add hydrogen bonds according to specified Donor-Acceptor criteria.
|
|
Setting bond lengths is now easily performed by moving the lower and upper bound lines.
|
|
Add command for removing un-bonded atoms.
|
Furthermore, there are many general enhancements and improvements.
