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 16 atoms drawn above are these sites multiplied by all 96 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
AB2C_cF16_216_a_bc_d-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol cF16, then the space-group number 216, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (Cu: 4a; Hg: 4b; Hg: 4c; Ti: 4d). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.
