Code

--used to find the monomers in symmetric puzzles

segs = structure.GetCount () 

symcnt = structure.GetSymCount ()
if symcnt > 0 then
    for sym = 1, symcnt do
        band.AddBetweenSegments ( 1, 1, nil, nil, sym )
        band.AddBetweenSegments ( segs, segs, nil, nil, sym )
    end
end 

ui.CenterViewport ( segs / 2 )

freeze.FreezeAll()

structure.WiggleAll(2)

freeze.UnfreezeAll ()

ui.CenterViewport ( segs / 2 )

band.DeleteAll()

In designing symmetric puzzles, monomer units temp to get out of view. This recipe centers them all in the view.
Warning: If you want to keep the complex structure between units, use FindIt instead.

If you load it again, you'll get a slightly faster version.
