Setting Serial<br />

Numbers<br />

this step, you will see different numbers on the tree<br />

control and the model. If this happens, simply hide the<br />

serial numbers momentarily and redisplay them.<br />

Administrator<br />

Atoms are assigned serial numbers when they are<br />

created. You can view the serial numbers in the<br />

following ways:<br />

• Point to the atom to display the pop-up<br />

information.<br />

• From the Model Display submenu of the View<br />

menu, choose Show Serial Numbers.<br />

• In the Chem 3D Model Settings dialog box,<br />

choose the Atom Labels tab, and then check the<br />

Show Serial Numbers checkbox.<br />

• Click the Serial Number toggle on the<br />

Model Display Toolbar.<br />

Serial numbers are initially assigned based on the<br />

order in which you add atoms to your model.<br />

To change the serial number of an atom:<br />

1. If you are using the Model Explorer, select the<br />

atoms you want to re-number, and select Hide<br />

Atom Serial Number from the Atom Serial<br />

Numbers submenu of the context menu.<br />

2. Click the Text tool.<br />

3. Click the atom to reserialize.<br />

A text box appears.<br />

4. Type the serial number.<br />

5. Press the Enter key.<br />

If the serial numbers of any unselected atoms<br />

conflict with the new serial numbers, then those<br />

unselected atoms are renumbered also.<br />

To reserialize another atom with the next sequential<br />

number:<br />

• Double-click the next atom you want to<br />

reserialize.<br />

To reserialize several atoms at once:<br />

1. Click the Text tool.<br />

2. Hold down Shift and select several atoms.<br />

3. Type the starting serial number.<br />

4. Press the Enter key.<br />

Normally, the selected atoms are reserialized in the<br />

order of their current serial numbers. However, the<br />

first four atoms selected are reserialized in the order<br />

you selected them.<br />

Changing<br />

Stereochemistry<br />

NOTE: The Model Explorer cannot update its<br />

numbering to match the changes you are making on the<br />

model when Serial Numbers are displayed. If you forget<br />

You can alter the stereochemistry of your model by<br />

inversion or reflection.<br />

Inversion<br />

The Invert command performs an inversion<br />

symmetry operation about a selected chiral atom.<br />
