Error in DPlot: VIEW and nOrb > 1 conflict


Clicked A Few Times
Hi,
I'm trinto to visualize molecular orbitals.
After section, in my input, for tddft calculation, I append this section

task tddft energy

dplot
 TITLE HOMO
vectors visudyne01_on_MSN_tddft.movecs
LimitXYZ
-40.0 40.0 77
-40.0 40.0 77
-40.0 40.0 77

output visudyne01_on_MSN_MO.cub
end
task dplot

The job is stopped with this error

how could I fix it?

If you want to plot orbitals (view keyword), only one orbital at a time is allowed.
dplot
  TITLE HOMO
  vectors visudyne01_on_MSN_tddft.movecs
  LimitXYZ
 -40.0 40.0 77
 -40.0 40.0 77
 -40.0 40.0 77
 spin total
 gaussian
 orbitals view
 1
 477
 output visudyne01_on_MSN_MO477.cub
end

Instead, if you want to consider more than one orbital, you will have to use the density keyword, instead
