Bond visualization settings

These options control the appearance of bonds in the 3D structure, and the distance tolerance used when bonds are generated by the missingbonds filter (BondGenerator).

OptionTypeDefaultDescription
bondGrowToleranceNumber0.45Additive tolerance in Ångströms added to the sum of covalent radii for bond generation (capped at 0.40 Å for s-block element pairs, even if set higher).
bondRadiusNumber0.05Radius of bond cylinders.
bondSectionsNumber15Number of sections in bond cylinders.
bondColorModeString"uniform"uniform uses bondColor; split colors each 3D bond half like its connected atom. The split mode remains one instanced draw call.
bondColorColor"#666666"Default color for bonds.
bondColorRoughnessNumber0.3Roughness of bond material (0–1).
bondColorMetalnessNumber0.1Metalness of bond material (0–1).
