Wrapping a Molecule on Another Object Instructions

Step-by-step walkthrough for wrapping a molecule structure onto another object using the Wrap tool.

This walkthrough shows how to wrap a molecule structure onto another object (such as a reagent bottle, pill bottle, or chalkboard) using only canvas icons and the Wrap tool. No prompts or SMILES are needed—everything runs through the molecule tools and the Wrap modal.

Prerequisites

  1. Sign in so your generations can be downloaded and tracked.
  2. Open the Generator from the top navigation.

Pick adenosine first (icon-only flow)

  1. Open the Molecule menu in the top toolbar and choose Add molecule. Adenosine is not one of the preset thumbnails—type adenosine into the search bar just below the presets and pick it from the results. (To sketch it instead, use the Draw a molecule button inside this same Add Molecule window, which opens the Ketcher structure editor—there is no separate “Draw” icon on the canvas toolbar.)
  2. Click Add to Canvas to drop the molecule onto the canvas.
  3. Switch to the selection tool and click the adenosine object to select it—a single click alone won't select a molecule object, only images. Selecting it shows a floating toolbar, but the Wrap button isn't one of its top-level icons—see the next section for where it actually lives.

Note: if you sketch adenosine by hand, ring template presets (benzene, cyclopentane, etc.) only join at a single shared atom when you drag two of them together—they don't fuse edge-to-edge. To build the fused-ring system, place one ring template, then extend it with the chain/bond tools rather than trying to snap two separate ring presets together.

Wrap onto a reagent bottle

  1. With adenosine selected, open the 3D, projections & teaching diagrams tool cluster and choose Wrap molecule with AI (present/gift icon). The app opens the Wrap modal using the captured adenosine preview. (The similarly-named “Wrap molecule on object” entry in the top Molecule menu is not the one to use here.)
  2. In the object options, pick On a Reagent Bottle (alongside pill bottles and chalkboards).
  3. Keep the default AI Model (Nano Banana Pro) or select another available model. Before generating, check the Reference molecule preview shown in the modal—confirm it actually matches adenosine. If it shows a different structure, close the modal, re-select adenosine, and reopen Wrap rather than generating with the wrong reference. Then click Generate Image.
  4. After generation finishes, the wrapped reagent bottle image is placed on the canvas automatically. A few seconds later a feedback popup appears with its own Add to Canvas and Add to Gallery options—since the image is already on the canvas, it's fine to dismiss this popup or use it to also save the image to the gallery.

Finalize and download

  1. Move or resize the generated bottle image on the canvas as needed.
  2. Open the canvas export/share control in the header and choose Download PNG to save the wrapped reagent bottle image.
