The ''Scene authoring tools'' are accessible when you are editing a page. Click the tab '''edit this page''' at the top of the page where you wish to create a molecular scene. On the edit page, near the top, you'll see a big box where all the wikitext of the page lives--here you can change the text of the page. If you scroll down some, near the bottom, you'll find in bold letters '''Scene authoring tools [show]'''.

After you load an existing scene or "start fresh" to create a new scene, a Jmol applet window will open on the right side of the '''Scene-authoring tools''' window. As you make changes, they will show up in this window, leading up to the point where you use the 'save scene' tab to save the scene. But to put the scene into your page and preview how it will look there, you must copy the wikitext that is created when you save the scene and then hide the Scene-authoring tools to enable the '''Save Page''' and '''Show Preview''' buttons. | |||
