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 40 atoms drawn above are these sites multiplied by all 48 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

A4B13C3_cP40_223_e_ak_c-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol cP40, then the space-group number 223, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (Sn: 2a; Yb: 6c; Rh: 8e; Sn: 24k). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.
