ACD/3D Viewer

Draw 2D structures and quickly obtain their 3D representations in a striking color display.

A feature of ACD/ChemSketch (Commercial and Freeware).

Features

  • Manipulate 3D models with 2D and 3D rotation, resize, change styles, and colors
  • Display a 3D structure as stick, ball-and-stick, spheres, or disks
  • Add an overlay of small-dots that approximates the van der Waals radius of the solid 3D structure
  • Measure and change bond lengths, bond angles, and torsion angles
  • Optimize the structure using a 3-D CHARMM-type of force field
  • Toggle between 2D and 3D display with one click
  • View 3D structures in perspective
  • Create animated GIF files
  • Export 3D models to other geometry optimization programs
