I think you need to be a lot more specific about what commands you are using.
It is not clear what you mean by "load it as a monomer", and "within a
polymer".

The usual rule here is "tell us what you actually did (and what the result
was)". Telling us what task you were trying to accomplish is helpful, but
generally not enough.

Generally, you don't use LEaP to build three-dimensional models of structures,
although this is sometimes done. The more usual case is that you have (from
somewhere else) a pdb file with reasonable coordinates for the final molecule
you wish to examine.

...good luck...dac
