Hi Alessandro, editconf encounters a bad box in the input file and I think it first replaces that with a standard box internally. Check the box at the end of box.gro to see if the result is what it should be (nine numbers, according to the specification of the rhombic dodecahedon in Chapter 3 of the manual).
