How to Customize ChemCraft Visualization Styles and Share Them!

In this video I show how to change the visualization style in Chemcraft for atoms, bonds, orbital surfaces, and other options. Also how to save the style with a new name and where the styles folder is located. I show how to modify the "schemdat" text file which contains the name of the style binary files (thanks to Juan for explaining me how!). In this way if someone sends you a style binary file, you can add the name in schemdat.txt and will be able to see and use the new style in Chemcraft.

Well done, How to build a spin density plot using chemcraft

[@ancient3131]

Well done sir many thanks

[@niconeuman]

Thank you!

[@Oglaflow]

maybe the simplest video you have posted so far!

[@niconeuman]

Thanks! You mean the other videos are too hard to follow? I can make simpler videos but it's hard to know what kind of difficulties people have. That's what the comment section is for! If anyone has requests please let me know!

[@Oglaflow]

@@niconeuman I can follow your videos quite well. You do a fantastic job explaining both the theory and on how to execute complex jobs and make sense of them (CASSCF videos in particular). I learned a lot throughout your channel. If you would ever like to make a video on XANES simulations and plotting them let me know and I would be happy to help out!

[@niconeuman]

thank you very much! I will add XANES to the to-do list. I wanted also to do qm/mm but I have been having trouble getting some stuff to work and haven't figured out a good example of usage. someone also asked for Raman, but I would need to read a little because I know next to nothing on that subject.

@@niconeuman Seems like you already have a large list! For the QM/MM, I have had little success in that department so I wish I could be of more use. I have seen a paper that look at spin systems in QM/MM type frameworks (J. Phys. Chem. Lett. 2020, 11, 9, 3396-3400). Let me know if you get a chance to read this paper and what you think. I also think the Raman spectroscopy would be awesome to include in your set of videos. I could spend some time assisting with that too!

Hey! Nice vid :)
