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 9 atoms drawn above are these sites multiplied by all 6 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
A6B2C_hP9_150_ef_d_a-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol hP9, then the space-group number 150, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (Th: 1a; Na: 2d; F: 3e; F: 3f). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.
