[gmx-users] triclinic box

[Hermann, Johannes]

Hi Nikko,

what do you insert for X Y Z in your editconf command? With which 
program do you "open" the gro file? If I remember it correctly, VMD has 
a problem displaying anything else than a rectangular box (If you just 
want to display the edges of your box). Try to display the water 
molecules and see if you get a different shape.

All the best

Johannes
