The Model Information<br />

Panel<br />

The Model information panel contains information<br />

about the model in the top-most tabbed window<br />

and its display. You can display one or more of the<br />

following tables in the area:<br />

• Model Explorer<br />

• Measurements<br />

• Cartesian Coordinates<br />

• Z-Matrix table<br />

Tables are linked to the structure so that selecting<br />

an atom, bond, or angle in either will highlight both.<br />

Numerical values in the tables can be edited or cut<br />

and pasted to/from other documents (text or Excel<br />

worksheets), and the changes are displayed in the<br />

structure.<br />

All of the tables have an Auto-hide feature to<br />

minimize their display. For more information on<br />

Model Tables, see “Model Coordinates” on page<br />

28.<br />
