9.3.2 Displaying the Contents of a Single Unit Cell

The contents of a single unit cell (see Unit Cell) can be displayed in several ways:

Turn on the Packing tick box (situated underneath the display area in the main Mercury window). This will display one unit cell provided the packing ranges (see Section 9.3.1) are at their default values (0.0 to 1.0 in all directions).
Right-click in the display-area background, select Packing from the pull-down menu and Packing from the next menu. This will display one unit cell provided the packing ranges are at their default values.
Hit Calculate in the top-level menu followed by Packing/Slicing... in the next menu. In the resulting dialogue box, ensure that the packing ranges are set to their default values of 0.0 to 1.0 (by using Reset if required) and then turn the Pack tick box on.
