Dear Catherine,

The reason Dan mentioned that is that you should probably use only one
protein in your "center" command before imaging, so change:

center :1-677 origin

to use a smaller selection (could also be just part of a protein, or a
single residue).
This should cause the imaging to put all the proteins in the same box.
