The Molecule Panel
The options in this panel control how atoms and bonds appear in the View window. The three popup menus specify how atoms in each of the three ONIOM layers will be displayed. If the ONIOM facility is not being used, then the setting for the
is used. The layer display settings are also used by some other GaussView features unrelated to ONIOM (e.g., displaying atoms at the boundaries of PBC unit cells).
The Display Format Molecule Panel
The various supported display types are:
The
checkbox controls whether bonds are partially or entirely colored by atom type in the tube display format. The two options are illustrated below:
Tube Display Formats
These windows show pyrazine using the tube display format without (left) and with (right) the

Using with a scaling value of 150%–200% will produce a space-filling-like molecular display, as in the following figure:
