Fig. 1From: Programmatic conversion of crystal structures into 3D printable files using JmolThe Jmol3DP script can be used to batch process CIFs into 3D printable VRML files. The script was executed by creating a windows batch file, Jmol.bat (java -Xmx1024m -jar “JmolData.jar” -o %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %) and a text list of the crystal structure file names. Then the batch file was run from a DOS command line (Jmol –s Jmol3DP.spt). For extended solids, symmetry and packing was applied upon initial loading (i.e. edit line 5 of the script to read load @{alist[i]} {1 1 1} PACKED)Back to article page
