of molecules.
6. File - contains a standard set of features for opening, saving and printing files.
Edit - also provides the usual set of copy, paste, undo, and select functions.
View - provides a wide range of settings for the appearance of molecules / bonds
/ panels, etc.
Structure - offers tools for customizing the display of various parameters of a
molecule, as well as measuring bond lengths, interatomic distances and
angles.
Calculations - offer methods for calculating the potential energy of molecules
and other characteristics empirically,semiempirical and ab initio quantum
mechanical methods.
Surfaces - offers tools for analyzing molecules and their calculated properties. 6
2.1 Main Menu
7. Menu File

New - opens a new user window. C that Chem3D works
in multi-window mode.
Sample Files - prompts you to open a new window with
predefined settings (for example, background color or
how molecules are displayed) or with presets for
molecular models.
Open / Close Window / Save / Save As… - are standard
functions for opening, closing and saving files.
Revert to Saved - removes all changes since the last
save.
Model Settings - uses this model's settings for the new
model.
Print Setup / Print - opens a standard dialog box for
customizing and then printing the file.
8. Menu Edit
Undo / Redo- undoes or, conversely, redoes the
changes of the last action.
Cut - cuts the selected element of the molecule /
text and copies it to the clipboard.
Copy - copies the selected element of the molecule /
text to the clipboard.
Paste- selected element of the molecule / text from
the clipboard.
Clear - deletes the selected item/text.
8
Copy As...- allows you to copy the selection as ChemDraw- structure or raster (bitmap)
Select All - selects all items.
Select Atoms - allows you to select atoms by a certain attribute: Revers (Select unselected,
i.e. invert selection), SelectC (Select all atoms of one element), Select Adjiacent (Select
all atoms adjacent to the given one), Select Fragment (Select all atoms of the given
fragment).

The first section includes three items:
- Main panel, including the display of the main
panel;
- Control Panel - showing the visibility of the
control panel,
- Settings, which displays a dialog box for
setting the appearance of molecules.
The second section combines the points with
which you can visualize the various calculated
characteristics of the molecular model.
In the last section of the menu item viewlinks to
tables with parameters used in calculations are
given.
10. Menu Structure
• Structure - offers tools for customizing the display
of various parameters of a molecule, as well as
measuring bond lengths, interatomic distances and
angles.
• Measurements - contains a pop-up submenu with
items:
10
• Bond Lengths -
determine lengths connections,
• Bond angles -
determine the angles between the bonds,
• Dihedral angles - define dihedral angles,
• Close Contacts – determine the closest connections,

Chem3D Toolbar offers a set of
simple tools for creating and adjusting
simulated structures in the workspace.
The Chem3D allows full 3D modeling
and visualization of chemical
compounds.

18. Editing and analysis of the geometry of
3D molecular models
There are several ways to create a three-dimensional
molecule of a chemical compound.
A two-dimensional model in the form of a structural
formula of the corresponding chemical compound can be
created in the application ChemDraw or in any other
"chemical editor", and then copied through the clipboard
Windows using the copy and paste operations.
When inserted into the Chem3D window, the
structural formula is automatically converted into a
three-dimensional model, while the corresponding
lengths of valence bonds and angles between atoms are
assigned standard values for these elements. 18

How to create a 3D model
1st way -directly in the working window with
Toolbar building
2nd way-according to the gross formula of the compound
Click the button on the panelbuilding
Click in the working window
In the text field that appears, write the gross formula
corresponding connection
After pressingEntera 3D model will be created
3rd way-based on a two-dimensional model created inChemDraw
Select and copy the 2D model fromChemDraw
Paste into working windowChem3D
The model is automatically converted to 3D
How to copy3D-model out the window ChemDraw?

How to edit a 3D model
Click the button on the panel building
Click on the atom to be replaced
In the text field that appears, enter the symbol of the new atom
After pressing the key Enter there will be changes
21. 4 Summary
Chem3D is a program for creating and viewing three-dimensional
chemical structures, has a built-inplugin ChemDraw, which
allows you to build a three-dimensional chemical structure using
the structural formula written on the screen. In addition, the
program calculates the physical properties of chemical structures
using various quantum chemical methods (MM3, MOPAC, the
Hückel method, etc.)
