Thanks a lot for the answer!

Apologize for not making myself very clear. Actually I am refining some
layered manganites data, I have non special postion Mn atoms(4 in one unit
cell for the magnetic phase of Space group P1), I need to make them in 
the same position as the Mn in the atomic structure phase(only one in the
unit cell (I4/mmm) ). 

Thanks again!

Best,

Xiangyun Qiu
