Navigate through the menu options to find the desired molecule.
Click the Information tab for a very brief description of the molecule selected.
Press tab to view 3D model the desired molecule in three dimensions.
Allow the program to finish loading the model.
Note that the loading time of the model depends on the complexity of the model and the hardware device.
After a few moments, you can view the model.
From now on, you can interact with the model by clicking on the screen.
