The c-glide consists of first a reflection across a mirror; and then, a translation of ½ c in the c-direction. The c-glide is at y = ¼ (click "Glide").

To apply the mirror symmetry operation of the glide plane, click "Mirror":

This produces an "intermediate" molecule related to the original molecule by reflection across the mirror at y = ¼ . To translate this molecule ½ c, click "Translate ½ c":

The glide plane converts an atom at general location x, y, z to an identical atom at x, ½ - y, ½ + z.

To remove the intermediate molecule, click "Clear"; to remove the glide plane, click "Remove".

This molecule can be moved into the "original" unit cell by translating it one unit cell in the b-direction (click on "translate 0 1 0").

These two molecules are related by a c-glide plane at y = ¾ .
