Creating surface

Dear all,

I’m new to Avogadro and I’m particularly interested in its creating surface
feature, and I would like to perform the following task which I don’t know if
its possible to do in Avogado. I have a cube file which gives the the value
of a property in every point in space (within a defined grid). From that file
I can create a surface, but the problem comes when colouring that surface. I
want to colour it according to the values of a second property, stored in a
second cube file (with the same grid size and the same spacing between
points). However, I cannot figure out how to do this. Is it possible to get
what I want with Avogadro?

To put this in a more chemical context, what I want is to colour the Electron
Localisation Function (stored in cube1) according to the synnapticity of the
basins (stored in cube2). Synnapticity has very simple values, usually 0, 1
or 2.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers

Jose

No, unfortunately, it is not yet possible to create a surface from one cube, but color based on another cube. We were just discussing this about a week ago, so it’s definitely on the “to do soon” list.

My hope is that we can start the 1.1.x development releases in October.

Sorry I can’t be more help,

Ok, I will be waiting for that version then. Thanks for your work.

Cheers,

Jose

In the meantime, Jmol may be able to do this.
