Title: Message Don, As Allen Larson noted GSAS only uses the 2nd setting for space groups that have two (e.g. F d 3 m) so that he inversion center is placed at the origin. The eta alumina structure you have is for the 1st setting. To convert from 1st to 2nd subtract 1/8,1/8,1/8 from all

Title: Message Drs. Payzant, Larson, Von Dreele, Thanks for your quick response. After 1/8 offset, it appears that the pattern from live plot is a good match to ICSD-generated pattern, which basically solved my problem. I am very happy and grateful. There is still a little
