CrystalMaker has a customisable icon-based toolbar that enables the user to easily change view and perspectives of a structure.

Lattice planes can be visualised, and with CrystalDiffract powder patterns are easily generated for comparison with data.

The density and porosity are easily calculated and all bonding and nonbonding distances to dihedral angles just require mouse clicks. Large molecules as well as complex, multiple unit cells of extended structures can be inspected in ball and stick, polyhedral, stereo, Ortep, and stick formats, with options to show surfaces, unit cells and axes, to enable insightful views of a structure. In a simple, intuitive manner the latest version of CrystalMaker (v8.2 Mac, v2.2 Windows) provides both students and experienced crystallographers convenient options to view structures whose structural data is available in several formats including CIF, ICSD, CSD, and PDB, and provides for high quality, annotated images highlighting key structural features for publication or presentations.
