Well, for now I’m going with that, since everything else is based on changing bond lengths.

 ![draft edit panel in the measure tool](https://discuss.avogadro.cc/uploads/default/original/2X/5/5cbbb2aa109f0123bb4be24fe5728da36e21ef31.png)

So it’s fairly easy to move the two oxygen atoms relative to each other to a specific distance.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Complaints?
