I believe this to be a bug with Avogadro:

Environment Information

Avogadro version: 1.102.1
Operating system and version: windows 11

Expected Behavior

Hello,

I am following this webpage in an attempt to perform conformer search using open babel. However after performing the search the final conformer properties button is not available to click (see picture). Any advice?

The conformer search causes the active molecules to rotate and shift in shape, but it seems a library of conformers is not being created?

Thanks for any advice!

It would help a lot to know what conformer search you used. Some of them do not necessarily generate the full set.

I’d also suggest checking out the latest continuous build from Install — Avogadro 1.102.1 documentation - I definitely fixed a bug with conformers not being available, but I can’t remember whether that made it into 1.102.1 or not.
