Hello!

Your box isn't rectangular. Your problem is just VMD display the gro
file with a rectangular shape. If you need to see your system properly
try to transform your .gro file in a .pdb file first, using trjconv.

Try trjconv -h to see the options

I don't believe this is correct. That would be a bizarre thing for VMD to do. 
Much more likely is that editconf actually selected a rectangular box, genbox 
filled it, and VMD is displaying what's in the file.


Actually, I've found trjconv to be necessary. VMD indeed shows a rectangular box for my dodecahedral systems, if I have not used trjconv -pbc mol -ur compact.

The transformation to .pdb, however, is unnecessary. The .gro file can be processed in the same way.
