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 68 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
AB14C2_tP68_136_f_ce2j2k_fg-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol tP68, then the space-group number 136, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (Fe: 4c; Fe: 4e; B: 4f; Nd: 4f; Nd: 4g; Fe: 8j; Fe: 8j; Fe: 16k; Fe: 16k). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.
