• Bond Angles—Displays bond angles in the<br />

Measurements Table. The Actual values<br />

come from the model and the Optimal<br />

values come from Angle Bending<br />

Parameters and other external tables.<br />

• Dihedral Angles—Displays dihedral angles<br />

in the Measurements Table. The Actual<br />

values come from the model and the<br />

Optimal values come from Angle Bending<br />

Parameters and other external tables.<br />

• Clear—Clears the entire Measurement<br />

table. If you only want to clear part of the<br />

table, select the portion you want to clear,<br />

and choose Delete from the right-click<br />

menu.<br />

The Model Position submenu<br />

• Center Model on Origin—Resizes and<br />

centers the model in the model window after<br />

a change to the model is made.<br />

• Center Selection on Origin—Resizes and<br />

centers the selected portion of the model in<br />

the model window.<br />

• Align Model With X Axis—When two<br />

atoms are selected, moves them to the X-<br />

axis.<br />

• Align Model With Y-axis—When two<br />

atoms are selected, moves them to the Y-<br />

axis.<br />

• Align Model With Z-axis—When two<br />

atoms are selected, moves them to the Z-<br />

axis.<br />

• Align Model With XY Plane—When<br />

three atoms are selected, moves them to the<br />

XY-plane.<br />

• Align Model With XZ Plane—When<br />

three atoms are selected, moves them to the<br />

XZ-plane.<br />

• Align Model With YZ Plane—When<br />

three atoms are selected, moves them to the<br />

YZ-plane.<br />

The Reflect Model submenu<br />

• Through XY Plane—Reflects the model<br />

through the XY plane by negating Z<br />

coordinates. If the model contains any chiral<br />

centers this will change the model into its<br />

enantiomer. Pro-R positioned atoms will<br />

become Pro-S and Pro-S positioned atoms<br />

will become Pro-R. All dihedral angles used<br />

to position atoms will also be negated.<br />

• Through XZ Plane—Reflects the model<br />

through the XZ plane by negating Y<br />

coordinates. If the model contains any chiral<br />

centers this will change the model into its<br />

enantiomer. Pro-R positioned atoms will<br />

become Pro-S and Pro-S positioned atoms<br />

will become Pro-R. All dihedral angles used<br />

to position atoms will also be negated.<br />

• Through YZ Plane—Reflects the model<br />

through the YZ plane by negating X<br />

coordinates. If the model contains any chiral<br />

centers this will change the model into its<br />

enantiomer. Pro-R positioned atoms will<br />

become Pro-S and Pro-S positioned atoms<br />

will become Pro-R. All dihedral angles used<br />

to position atoms will also be negated.<br />

• Invert Through Origin—Reflects the<br />

model through the origin, negating all<br />

Cartesian coordinates. If the model contains<br />

any chiral centers this will change the model<br />

into its enantiomer. Pro-R positioned atoms<br />

will become Pro-S and Pro-S positioned<br />

atoms will become Pro-R. All dihedral<br />

angles used to position atoms will also be<br />

negated.<br />

The Set Z-Matrix submenu<br />

• Set Origin Atom(s) file—Sets the selected<br />

atom(s) as the origin of the internal<br />

coordinates. Up to three atoms may be<br />

selected. “Setting Measurements” on page<br />
