start with your one atom in a small box (e.g. 0.2 x 0.2 x 0.2 ) alone.
then use genconf to generate a layer:
genconf -f conf -o kkk -nbox 20 20 1
then run editconf to change your box to the required size (and center
your layer)
editconf -f kkk -box 4 4 4 -center 2 2 2 -o lll
then fill it with water:
genbox -cp lll -cs spc216 -o mmm
