Sketch_object [id an atom] or [object]
Converts an atomic object of bonds into a CPK object. This is essentially identical to CPK_object but without the options. It uses the same datablock .cpk_radii to obtain atomic radii for the spheres. It can, therefore, be used to construct real CPK objects or in the creation of ball-and-stick objects by reading in suitable atomic radii. Two example files are provided in cpk_radii.o and radii.o, for large and small balls. Both this command and Sketch_stick keep the atomic colouring used in the defined object. CPK models can be drawn in line, solid or the computer's generic mode. Creating a spacefilling model of the entire molecule is likely to make most workstations go totally dead if you try to turn the dials. The best way to take a photo is to find the orientation first with a normal vector drawing, turn off everything, and then create the spacefilling model.
