Re: The vector direction in SMD

You will need to find a point in this cavern. You can use 0 - Query
and then click on an atom near the center of this to find its
coordinates. Then you can define a vector between the two points.

To visualize it, you can use the tcl command "draw line {point 1}
{point 2} width 10".
