I have sent you private mail and attached cif file. This is Dr.Rajni Swamy.
It is best to upload your .cif file, or send it privately to me via E-mail, I will check
I tried VESTA. When I load my cif file, I get a unit cell with 8 molecules whereas my Z=4. I checked the unit cell parameters and changed it according to my data. Monoclinic etc. but immediately my molecule breaks. I tried even the mol file but nothing much happens. Is Gaussview closing because of the large number of atoms (56)?
This is what I got in my cluster.pdb when I used VMD.
These first line is not the correct lattice parameter or space group.

If gview doesn't work, you can use Avogadro or VESTA to create supercell, both of them are freely available and easy to use.
I cannot give you detailed advice without having your pdb file of supercell. If possible, please upload compressed .pdb file of large enough supercell.
Hi...
To calculate the hirshfeld surface we are required to input *.pdb file which contains a cluster. This cluster is generated in vmd. I followed your video tutorial, but Gaussview closes when I create a super cell. My molecule has 56 atoms (C, H, N and O). Somehow I managed to save as pdb. But the super cell was looking awkward. I changed the parameters to match my xrd values. I followed your video step by step. I copied your script and pasted it in tk console. but I didn't get any fragment number for my central atom like how you got fragment 182. after the final step I got only 2 molecules in my cluster
my main molecule was also not in the center of the cluster. Where did I go wrong? Please clarify.
