Face at Cursor

Dialog box: Face at Cursor

This dialog comes up when you click the mouse pointer on a face, if the Cursor Mode (Cursor menu) is set on indexing rather than resizing or rotation. It lists the face indices, the form indices and the crystal number, if there is more than one crystal. It also gives the interfacial angle (angle between face poles or normal) between the current faces and the one last identified.

You can change the Central distance for the form - to put this into effect, you must Recalculate.

You can also use this dialog to set up a color or pattern fill of a face or form, or to delete one. See Face/Form Fills in the Input1 menu for more details on fills.

In Direct3D Drawing Mode, fullscreen, there is no atom identification - the only function of the mouse cursor is to rotate the structure, or to stop rotation or vibration by a click anywhere.
