The multiplicity and the Wyckoff letter say how many copies of the site the group makes in one cell and on which kind of symmetry element the site sits; the 18 atoms drawn above are these sites multiplied by all 12 operations. Press Wyckoff under Colour to see the sites, and tick a symmetry element on the left to see which atoms lie on it.

How to read the label

A2BCD2_hP18_180_f_c_b_i-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol hP18, then the space-group number 180, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (Na: 3b; I: 3c; Hg: 6f; O: 6i). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.
