Dear Stefaan, thanks for the prompt reply. When I chose "yes" in the initial instant, "it went to the original struct file and everything got converted to P1 symmetry with 24 nonequivalent atoms and not 16 atoms in the supercell. When I chose "no", sgroup automatically found the space group and after I chose "yes", it actually considers the file generated by sgroup. Thanks

Choose yes. nn 'knows' this better than you. Although this step is somewhat redundant, sgroup will make the better choice, irrespective of having accepted this change or not. > When I clicked on view outputsgroup > The following message came > Warning!!!

You have lowered the symmetry by introducing other atoms in the lattice.
