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 10 atoms drawn above are these sites multiplied by all 16 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

A4BC4D_tP10_123_gh_a_i_d-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol tP10, then the space-group number 123, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (Ca: 1a; Rb: 1d; As: 2g; As: 2h; Fe: 4i). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.
