3D & Color in ChemDraw

3D printing is a technology that is rapidly growing in popularity, and it is having a profound impact on the way that people create things. It is a flexible technique that is proving to be extremely valuable in a variety of scientific applications, notably in biomedical research. In chemical researc

A team led by Baylor University biochemist Bryan Shaw has created 3D printing techniques to convert scientific images into thin 3D constructions called lithophanes, which present high-resolution data in a form that visually impaired people can interpret.  Hoby Wedler, a chemist and entrepreneu

Hi, Is there any functionality in Chem3D to separate out Structures in SDF File and do the energy minimization? Suppose, If in a SDF file there are 300 structures and i open it in a Chem3D it will open it as a one Model. I would like to get a separate structures of this SDF file so that i can

Hi friends, Just having a thought :) I have started using MS Office in Dark Mode, which gives a background of RGB #323130 and makes the 'automatic' text colour appear white.  I like to paste little ChemDraws into OneNote (sadly they are pasted as images), and with the default stylesheet co

ChemDraw’s easy-to-use interface and advanced features have made it a favorite among chemists for decades. But did you know that ChemDraw can also create 3D representations of molecules? With ChemDraw’s recent 3D clean-up capabilities, you can easily create realistic drawings of molecules in three d

Hi, Is this a good place to report bugs? By the way, it's very difficult to find the link that allows users to actually ask a question/create a new post. I was only able to access this link by clicking on "more announcements" (and weirdly, the link to create new posts is nowhere to be found wh

The combination of the 3D Clean Up and the copy to 3MF functions is awesome! Thanks for implementing them in recent versions of ChemDraw. I plan to use them extensively in my teaching. I have a few suggestions to improve on these:   1) As I mentioned in another post, I think it would be g

So how does the 2D-to-3D "3D Clean Up" function work? It seems to conduct some type of structural energy minimization, then show the structure in 3D. The reason I am asking is because the function has proven to be very unreliable for me. It seems like the level of computation for the energy mini

For several years, my lab has been interested in exploring how 3D objects such as molecules, orbitals and surfaces can be directly manipulated in PowerPoint. With the introduction of new 3D functions in ChemDraw 21.0, I thought this would be a good time to demonstrate the kind of stuff that can
