Restore the download of structures in primitive cell?

Dear Website Maintainers,

I have noticed that the option to download structures in the primitive cell has been disabled on the new website for quite some time. Is there a specific reason for this change? Without this feature, users have to rely on external tools for this conversion, which adds extra steps to the process. It would be greatly appreciated if this feature could be restored.

Thank you for your consideration.

Best regards,
G. Luo

Hi @GLuo,

You can change the representation of a material’s lattice in Crystal Structure section of a material’s detail page. ex:

The changes are also reflected in the output of clicking “Export Materials Details”

Is this the behavior you’re looking for?

The crystal toolkit viewer also has an option to change the unit cell as well:
