For refining a large structure and peforming minor operations, it can be convenient
to not update the model structure automatically. Also, some traditional crystal
users may not like the structure drawing slowing them down - as well as time
delays if doing lots of task switching between other programs.
To stop auto-updating of the structure model, type the following on the script input command line.
\set autoupdate off To then manually update the model type:
#DISP END
In the latest Crystals, this can also be done via the GUI (Graphical User Interface) using the Model, Update Model menu.

If you are switching between a number of programs, and it is taking
a while for Crystals to redraw the structure (of which the viewing
is optional for this stage of the refinement); one trick is to
exclude/erase most of the atoms. Then tell Crystals not to
do model updating.
\set autoupdate off Then re-import the model. Now things will fly on task switching as Crystals will not update the model with all the imported atoms.
If you wish, you can still manually update the model type:
#DISP END |
