I was also trying to put more than one protein in one simulation box. I was able to do it with genconf but it appears that the addition is in very ordered manner if one looks .gro file in VMD. How can I add these protein in disordered random orientation.

That's certainly what genconf does. You can apply a random rotation to your molecules with genconf -rot, but I don't know if that will remove any of the regularity in overall position.

        but I couldn't manage with that, it makes the same error with
        editconf as well, the problem was related to having more than
        one residue inside insert.gro


    editconf should not have a problem placing multi-residue molecules
    within a box.  That is its main function, so I can only assume you
    did something wrong.

        I did it at the end with genconf

        genconf  -nbox 2 2 2 (as u want)  -f  file.gro  -o
        file_replicate.pdb

        it will simply replicate the unit.


    That works.  Glad you found a solution.
