I tried Chimera, but I found it to be too complicated for I need... is there a simpler program out there for simple molecules?

Paint??GCT said:For simple molecules, you may want to try drawing it out with Paint.

Werg22,
Just use http://www.acdlabs.com/download/chemsk.html! It's small, free, and it does 3D...
You can get pretty sophisticated with paint, you can basically edit anything with it.
A molecular drawing program is a computer software that allows scientists to create digital representations of molecules and chemical structures. It works by using a set of predefined tools and algorithms to help users draw, manipulate, and analyze molecular structures.
Using a molecular drawing program offers several benefits, including the ability to create accurate and detailed representations of molecules, save and share digital copies of molecular structures, and perform virtual experiments and simulations.
Yes, many molecular drawing programs have user-friendly interfaces and intuitive tools that make it easy for beginners to learn and use. Some programs also offer tutorials and help sections to assist users in getting started.
Yes, many molecular drawing programs are designed specifically for scientific research and offer advanced features such as 3D visualization, energy minimization, and molecular dynamics simulations. These programs are widely used in the scientific community for drug discovery, materials science, and other research fields.
One potential limitation of using a molecular drawing program is that the accuracy and reliability of the digital structures depend on the quality of the input data and the algorithms used by the program. Additionally, molecular drawing programs may not be able to accurately represent very large or complex molecules.
