Feature suggest: ball-and-stick model retaining display of hydrogen atoms

[Thomas]

When going back and forth for the visual representation of ethane in the AppImage for Linux* running in Linux Debian 12/bookworm generated by import by name, I noticed electing the Ball and Stick model removes the spheres about the hydrogen atoms, while Licorice retains them.

Is it possible that there is a Avogadro has a toggle to display only the atoms of the molecule’s frame? If not, can future versions of Avogadro offer a Ball and Stick visualization including peripheral hydrogen atoms?

The export (e.g., .xyz, .sdf/.mol) does not seem to be affected by this feature; molecules written are as complete as displayed in the style Licorice.

Ball and Stick visualization including peripheral hydrogen atoms?

It’s an option if you want to hide or show hydrogens with Balls and Sticks. click on the row with “Ball and Stick” and you’ll see the options:

My apologizes, it was an instance of tunnel vision.
