Dear Tsjerk,
I don’t understand what you mean.
Take a look at the next image.

You say this is ok? Even when i open the file with vmd i got tons of warning message:

 sorry for asking to much stuffs, but this is my first time trying to convert a system form a CG-representation to an AA one.
Thanks for all of your help.
