AddSolid

AddSolid - add solid for schematic drawing

AddSolid ( sphere | ellipsoid | cylinder |
    cone | box ) expr

Add a solid that (partly) covers the selected atoms for each selected molecule. The first parameter selects the desired shape. The second parameter gives the fraction of atoms that must be inside the solid.

The program tries to determine the solid with the smallest volume that covers the desired number of atoms. This is done by a randomized algorithm, so it is possible that the same input parameters do not always lead to exactly the same solid.

The calculation can take up to a few minutes, depending on the shape, the number of atoms, and the coverage.

The created primitives have the property "solid".
