hi Francois
                     Thanks for you help.  Fast trick actually worked for me but still it is not very homogeneous. I am sending you the screenshot. How can I go for small box roughly for 216 dmf molecule. Because 30 A box contains ~900 molecule. 
Thanks
abhishek

Dear Abhishek,

>                      DMF box again. I was trying to minimize the box  but after minimization I saw there was a gap in the middle of the  box. I am sending the script and screenshot of the box. min.png  after minimization and ori.png I created with xleap.  Plz help

Sorry for the delay, but I had to look back in my notes because we encountered the same problem you have ;-) I even saved a picture (like you did) with this empty 'cross' in the middle of the box... This is not a big deal but you need to find the correct trick(s) to solve this.

1) what command did you use to solvate your DMF box ? could you try using a large buffer i.e. "30" (instead of the "10" value reported in the manual) - something like:

SolvateBox DMF DMF 30

2) what command did you use for the setbox command ?

Could you try to use "setBox DMF vdw" ?
(to be done after the SolvateBox command)

Does it solve your problem ?

regards, Francois
