There are two ways to upload a structure file into STNext:

Uploading a Structure on the Structures Page

Note: To successfully upload a structure, you must first open a structure-searchable file or you will be prompted to do so. To enter all structure-searchable files, open the STRUCTURE cluster.

In order for a structure to be uploaded from the Structures page, it must have been already imported via the Import Structure button or Structure Editor.

  1. Click My Files, and then select Structures.
