Help with Elements 3D

Questions, a mistake in the science, or something that does not work: write to tenji73 (at) gmail (dot) com. A sentence on what you did and what you saw is enough.

Getting around

• Drag to turn the table, hold space and drag to slide it, scroll to zoom, R to reset the view.
• The tabs at the top switch between the table, the chart of nuclei, the atom and the molecules.
• The button at the top left leads back, and says where to. Esc does the same.
• Click an element to open it in the panel on the right. From there: its origin journey, its atom, and for twelve elements the lamp.
• The bar at the bottom chooses what the height shows, sorts the table, and plays journeys and the story.
