How to draw an Arrow over a rod in crystal structure?

TeX - LaTeX Asked on December 13, 2021

I want to draw a crystal structure in asymptote and want to draw an 3d Arrow over the rod from the orange atom to the white atom? I have tried draw(Ed -- Ea, red, arrow=Arrow3()); but the size of the arrow is too small – how can I change that?
Here is my code:

documentclass{article}
usepackage{asymptote}
usepackage{lipsum}

begin{document}
lipsum[2-4]

    centering

material cylcolor = material(diffusepen=white, ambientpen=white);

real cylRadius = 0.05;
real sphereRadius = 0.25;
real sphereRadiusN = 0.35;

void drawRod(triple a, triple b) {
  surface rod = extrude(scale(cylRadius)*unitcircle, axis=length(b-a)*Z);
  triple orthovector = cross(Z, b-a);
  if (length(orthovector) > .01) {
    real angle = aCos(dot(Z, b-a) / length(b-a));
    rod = rotate(angle, orthovector) * rod;
  }
  draw(shift(a)*rod, surfacepen=cylcolor);
}

void drawCarbon(triple center) {
     draw(shift(center)*scale3(sphereRadius)*unitsphere, surfacepen=sphereCcolorCarbon);
}

void drawNitrogen(triple center) {
     draw(shift(center)*scale3(sphereRadiusN)*unitsphere, surfacepen=sphereCcolorNitrogen);

One Answer

A crude fix: try

draw(Ed --(Ed+0.92(Ea-Ed)), red, arrow=EndArrow3(size=12));
