Title: changing display format in builder
Post by: KHipps on March 10, 2026, 03:12

 :'(
I accidentally hit another key (dont know which) when hitting escape key while in builder.  All the nice atom and bonds structures changed to simple stick structures.  What is worse, none of the measurement and selection tools work!
How do I get back the standard display?

Maybe  "Graphics>Graphics Properties" in Panel

I don't think there is a keyboard shortcut to switch the rendering mode, so you might have accidentally hit a bug (which was more usual in the past) where atoms turned into single dots.

I personally hate the advice to "just reboot", but graphics settings are not persistent, so next time you start Nanolab all should be back to usual :-)

Otherwise the Graphics settings are in the right-hand add-on panel in the Builder.
