Hi,

I’m using the software Avogadro recently and i have some doubts about the 
parameter that the software uses for calculations. My attention is focused 
primarily on the GaN molecule and the two crystalline phases that it presents, 
hexagonal and cubic. When creating a molecule, the number of chemical bonds to 
each of Ga atom and N is three (or coordination number three), but is expected 
four. The possibility of creating a molecule with atoms of Ga and N making four 
chemical bonds exists, as well as the possibility of performing the 
calculations of geometry optimization, but when the molecule is saved and open 
on another occasion in the program this presents again only 3 chemical bonds.

I would like to know if the parameters used in determining the number of 
chemical bonds can be modified. If there is this possibility, I would like to 
know how to perform these modifications.

Also, I wonder if there is a possibility of adding other force fields in the 
software for the calculations in addition to those already in software.
