Dear Justin,

I'm pretty sure my .gro file is valid, here is a direct copy and paste of the 
format of my .gro in the beginning:

and for the output .gro after editconf, here is what it shows (I don't know why 
the formats are kind of shifted, )

The issue here is spacing. The files have tabs in them, which break the mandatory alignment for a .gro file. The atoms did not display because VMD could not correctly read the coordinate fields.
