For molecular modelers, navigating complex molecular structures and making precise edits can be both challenging and time-consuming. What if there was a way to streamline these tasks effectively? Meet the editors in SAMSON – powerful tools designed to simplify molecular editing and enhance your design experience.
SAMSON’s editors allow you to directly interact with molecular structures using tools that adapt to your needs. Whether you’re generating new models or transforming existing structures, editors free you from labor-intensive processes and accelerate your workflow. Imagine creating a nanotube model in just a few clicks or applying a rigid-body transformation effortlessly. These are just a few examples of what you can achieve with SAMSON’s editing capabilities.
Finding and Activating Editors
Accessing editors in SAMSON is intuitive. Here’s how you can get started:
- Open the menu on the left side of the viewport, where all available editors are listed.
- For quicker access, use the command shortcuts available in the top-left corner of the viewport.
- Alternatively, locate editors through the Find everything search box at the top of the platform.
By default, SAMSON includes a set of editors, but its flexibility truly shines when you expand its capabilities. Simply explore and integrate additional editors from SAMSON Connect.
A Few Important Things to Know
While editors are your gateway to performing advanced tasks, only one editor can be active at a time. This ensures a streamlined editing process. Switching between editors is quick and seamless, allowing you to focus on what matters most: improving and modifying molecular structures efficiently.
Start Developing Your Own Editors
If you find yourself needing customized solutions specific to your research, SAMSON includes robust documentation on how to develop your own editors. Take advantage of the detailed resources on generating SAMSON Extensions. The possibilities for customization and innovation are vast, making SAMSON a prime choice for molecular designers seeking highly adaptable tools.
Whether you’re a seasoned molecular modeler or someone new to the field, the editors in SAMSON are designed to make sophisticated editing accessible and efficient. Explore the official documentation page here to learn more.
