Hi

I did following in VMD
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Main console display active (Tcl8.4.1 / Tk8.4.1)
(Desktop) 26 % set sel [atomselect top all]
atomselect0
>Main< (Desktop) 27 % measure minmax $sel
{-12.9750003815 -5.4439997673 -0.989000022411} {119.277000427
106.664001465 74.4410018921}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thus I got following XYZ dimensions for my system:

x = 132.2520008085
y = 112.1080012323
z = 75.430001914511

Now, as the atom diameters are not calculated in VMD, so do you
recommend adding 5 A in each dimension (or may be less like 2 or 3 A)
for making a periodic box around the system

Thanks for your suggestions.
Best Regards, -Akshay Patny (Olemiss)

Look at the "setBox" and "set box ..." commands in LEaP. (These are two
separate commands, and you probably want the second one.)
