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 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

A6B2C_tP18_136_fj_e_a-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol tP18, then the space-group number 136, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (Zn: 2a; Sb: 4e; O: 4f; O: 8j). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.
