Eterna3D Ribosome and beyond

First a massive thanks to Pragya! You rock! I think the new 3D interface is beautiful. Eterna flat RNA society joins the spherical age.

Unfortunately this thought first popped up after the townhall. I think I immediately got distracted by the fine M&M/smarties chocolate bases. Anyway here it comes.

I think there is one thing concrete that would benefit player understanding of how the bases fills in space.

The smarties are all the same size. But I would like to have the C and U be half the size of the G and A, because that is more realistic.

Chimera also have this for its colorful stick version

The bases are not of equal length. A and G are long bases and C and U are short.

A while back I wrote a story about it.
