Opening a Cube file

General Discussion Support
1

I believe this to be a bug with Avogadro

Environment Information

Avogadro version:1.100.0
Operating system and version:window 11Pro 64biy

Expected Behavior

I want to see 3D mapping of MO.

Actual Behavior

When I open the cube file of molecular orbital, I cannot see the 3D mapping of MO. I can’t see MO in Creating Surface menu neither analysis.

Steps to Reproduce

new(orbital).mo59a.txt (888.3 KB)
You can change this to Cube file.

Thanks alot:)

I’ll take a look - it says it was generated by ORCA and often with variants of files, there are differences from the files directly from Gaussian.

You can use Molden files from orca_2mkl if you’d like to see the MO since Avogadro includes support for Molden (and Orca output with the MO coefficients and basis printed).

Thanks for the reply. I will try.:slight_smile:

I have a bug fix that will go into the nightly builds: Fix reading Gaussian cube - make sure to set origin correctly by ghutchis · Pull Request #2000 · OpenChemistry/avogadrolibs · GitHub
