        Dear Gmx Users,
         I am setting up the simulation of a protein attached to the
        half of a nanotube. I set up my system and formed my box and
        solvated it in TIP3P water. Water molecules obviously were also
        placed below the part of a nanotube where I do not want them to
        be. Is there any command which will solvate my system below the
        surface of the nanotube? Or maybe is there any command or a
        software that will allow me to remove those unwanted water
        molecules? I have aroun 26000 water molecules in my system and
        around 5000 below my nanoutube so with editor it could take
        ages. Any suggestions?

    You can use g_select to use geometric criteria, i.e. coordinate
    value > some number such that only water molecules above a certain
    point are kept.  Then use trjconv with the index file g_select gives
    you and you have your cleaned up system.

Thank you Justin. That makes sense. Can you please write me which option of g_select will do this? How to see the help for each option?

Try:

g_select -select "help all"

Also note that similar procedures to what you want to do are described in the list archive.
