Draw Style

Draw Style

The general drawing style for all atoms in all models is determined by the selection made on the Style toolbar. This does not clear any specific styles set for individual atoms, it only overrides them. The final 'Individual' style draws atoms in their associated styles (which defaults to 'Stick').
