&gt; I know Thanks. I thought there was by far a simpler way already<br>
&gt; prepared!<br>
<br>
</div>as with almost any open source project, people primarily<br>
focus on what they personally think to be the most important.<br>
<br>
i consider the method i outlined quite simple and it<br>
allows for very large flexibility. if you think differently,<br>
then this is _your_ chance. write it and contribute it.<br>
this is the best way to pay back the developers of Q-E<br>
for all their efforts.<br>

&gt; &gt; &gt; It doesn&#39;t. Xcrysden let me only visualize the output structure<br>

&gt; &gt; the command<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; unit repetition but  I can export the final structure.<br>
&gt; &gt; Should I do it<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; by hand?<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; what is so difficult about it??<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; you can just write a little script using awk/perl/python/tcl/...<br>
&gt; &gt; to do one translation/scaling operation and then cut and paste<br>
&gt; &gt; the final (or initial) alat based coordinates from a previous<br>
&gt; &gt; run into this and piece the different translations together and<br>
&gt; &gt; make one input from it. this needs to be adjusted most of the<br>
