Hello,
I assume that you mean pull_pbcatom0...
Nothing changes when I set this to an atom index I am afraid.
I saw that you had use pull_geometry=cylinder in your recent JACS paper.
Would it be too much to ask to see those pull settings?
I simply cannot get the molecule to stay at the desired z-position...
Thanks!
