0.5 == 0 if the size is 0.5. If you've got the atom spacing right for 27 
atoms in this configuration, then increase your box size to make the 
periodic images go in the right spots. At the moment you are overlaying 
atoms.

IIRC, a bcc lattice has two atoms per unit cell e.g. the central one and 
eight eighths of an atom at each of the cube vertices. Thus I have no 
idea what you're trying to do with 27 atoms.
