visualization of natural orbitals
Is there a way to visualize natural orbitals (stored in ...UnaOrb) , ideally via Molden?
GV or Luscus is not an option for me.
Best regards

Re: visualization of natural orbitals
Doesn't SCF produce a molden file by default?
Always check the orbitals.

But the generated molden file corresponds to the UhfOrb file, with different alpha/beta orbitals, while UnaOrb has overall natural orbitals.
Perhaps the easiest with the current version is running:
&RASSCF
FileOrb = $Project.UnaOrb
CIOnlyThat should generate a $Project.rasscf.molden that you can visualize in molden (check that $Project.RasOrb and $Project.UnaOrb are almost identical).

Re: visualization of natural orbitals
maybe SCF should produce an extra molden file for the natural orbitals too, can't be that complicated? 
Always check the orbitals.

Re: visualization of natural orbitals
Yes, but that won't help chburger if (s)he's using 8.0 or earlier.

Re: visualization of natural orbitals
Indeed, I was just thinking about him/her making a feature request through the bug page.
Always check the orbitals.
