Dear Paolo,

Thank you very much for your feedback. I just realized that there was an error in my input file and after I’ve fixed it the structure is generated just as expected. The generation of Wyckoff positions are working perfectly.

Best regards,

Giovani Rech

In fact, when inspecting the wypos.f90 module (around line 1048) I noticed that this site specifically was not implemented, so if anyone else is facing the same problem, this might be cause.
