MO surfaces deviate from GaussView #682

Closed ghutchis closed 8 years ago

ghutchis commented 11 years ago

Generating MO surfaces in Avogadro and GaussView yields different results. In particular, Avogadro adds additional lobes that are not seen in GaussView.

Attached is an example where Avogadro adds a lobe around one of the carboxylic acid hydrogens in the HOMO of a porphyrin. Both surfaces were generated from the same file with an isovalue of 0.02.
