Unfortunately there isn't much that can be done about it. If you want the code to find the symmetry, you need to specify atomic positions with many significant figures. Otherwise, you may explicitly specify the symmetry group and Wyckoff positions and the code will write the correct atomic positions</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Paolo<br clear="all"></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div>Paolo Giannozzi, Dip.
