Periodic Bond Chains (PBC‐vectors) are used to improve the results of the build‐in approach in order to predict crystal habits by means of molecular modeling. A computer program was developed to find the PBCs and to investigate their changes as a result of the presence of additives. As a result the build‐in approach could be improved by incorporating a correction factor and the predicted crystal habits by the PBC model are in a good agreement with experimental results.
