Sketching Molecules in 2D with Full 3D Integration

When starting a molecular modeling project, it’s often easier to sketch a molecule quickly in 2D before diving into more complex 3D manipulations. But what if your 2D work could be instantly synchronized with a 3D viewport, allowing you to…

Easily Hiding or Selecting Animation Nodes with NSL

Molecular modelers working with complex animations in SAMSON often face a simple but frustrating challenge: filtering animation nodes quickly based on their state or name. Whether you’re preparing presentations, troubleshooting simulation steps, or optimizing interactions, sifting manually through dozens (or…

Working Smarter with Visual Model Visibility in SAMSON

When working on complex molecular models, clarity is key. Whether you're setting up simulations or presenting molecular designs, being able to efficiently hide, reveal, or filter elements can make a huge difference in both productivity and communication. In SAMSON, the…

Bringing Molecular Models to Life with the Pulse Animation

When creating molecular animations for teaching, presentations, or publications, one common challenge is how to focus viewers’ attention on specific parts of a complex scene. Simply showing everything at once can overwhelm the viewer, making it difficult to follow the…

Quickly Isolate Aromatic Atoms in Your Molecule with NSL

Whether you’re preparing molecules for docking, refining a visualization, or doing computational analysis, selecting specific subsets of atoms quickly — and accurately — can greatly improve your workflow. One group of atoms that’s both chemically significant and finicky to identify…
