- Location and display of intermolecular and/or intramolecular hydrogen bonds, short nonbonded contacts, and user-specified types of contacts
- The ability to build and visualise a network of intermolecular contacts
- The ability to show extra information about the structure on display, such as the chemical diagram (if available) and the atomic coordinates
- The ability to calculate, display and save the powder diffraction pattern for the structure on view
- The ability to save displays
