VESTA, CrystalMaker and Diamond do not fit the job!
Not the crystal structure per se. instead i would like to visualize the symmetry elements in the crystal structure. For example, the s.g. of LiFePO4 is Pmna. Can any software help visualize the 'n' glide, 'm' plane, and 'a' glide in the structure?
Probably, its just a wishful thinking.
Or, is it?
Dear Shashwat Singh
It is possible to visualize the symmetric elements in Mercury from CCDC (see the attached screen visualization).
https://www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/solutions/csd-core/components/mercury/
It is proprietary software. However, you may have permission to use it via your Institution, which is worth checking.
Best regards,
WNM
Wagner Da Nova Mussel Thank you very much for the answer.
It worked. There is a free CSD-community version of the Mercury software which facilitates visualization of symmetry elements. An account has to be created on their website to access the free version of the software.
Thank you once again.
Dear Shashwat Singh, I used a program called Space Group visualizer for this purpose or http://img.chem.ucl.ac.uk/sgp/large/sgp.htm or International Table for Crystallography vol. A.
