A slightly tangential comment: unless your CIF came from a neutron diffraction analysis the H positions can be very wrong. Many refinement codes such as Shelx are very good, but just put H into reasonable positions as they are unstable in the refinements with XRD data. In principle the CIF file

For low symmetry structures (eg. monoclinic) one can generate several unit cells which are absolutely equivalent (same volume, same number of atoms, ...) This happens with sgroup, which transforms your structure such that the monoclinic angle is less than 90. In addition the fractional

Peter, Thank you for your prompt reply. I apologize profusely, I failed to explain what I was trying to do. The cell was generated from an ICSD cif. There is indeed no problem with case.struct file, the neighbor distances seem fine. But I am having terrible trouble getting this to run

Dear reader, I am trying to determine the primitive cell and positions for a case.struct file I am running. But I am not determining the either primitive cell or the conventional cell correctly. I need to either: 1. Figure out what I am doing wrong. or 2. Find a place in the code where I
