Dear all
The atomic positions are given in the non-centrosymmetric space group R3m,160 with a hexagonal cell
Taking the Pb at the position 0.0 0.0 0.5
Taking the Zr/Ti at the position 0.0 0.0 0.0+delta_z
Taking the O at the position 1/6+delta_x 0.0 1/6+delta_z
My question is , how can I set in xred input files
This is my input files

chkorthsy: ERROR -
The symmetry operation number 2 does not preserve
vector lengths and angles.
The value of the residual is 7.2088E+03.
Action : modify rprim, acell and/or symrel so that
vector lengths and angles are preserved.
Beware, the tolerance on symmetry operations is very small.
